Here in the Philly area there have been (one I believe is on-going) recent bike clothing donation drives for 3 different non-profit cycling organizations. If you are truly interested in thinning out the herd, and if they are in decent shape, see if there is anywhere local to donate. We were recently in Australia on a cycling vacation. We brought our older helmets, with the hopes of donating them instead of throwing them out (we weren't going to bring them back). We were thrilled to find an organization that gives used bikes to immigrants so they have a form of transportation. They rarely get helmet donations, and were thrilled to get ours. We were thrilled to hear that they gave one away the next day. Its all good Karma.

I really only wear four different jerseys these days so maybe I should thin out the herd?? I mean it's like guys and their Harley T-shirts; when's enough well, enough already!
Nah, can't do it...
Guess I'll be seen with some "new" looks this spring and summer out on the road, retro's in anyway right?
