Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Basically I lost several years worth of cycling kit last month. Does anybody have any summer kit they don't need? I am out in the desert so rain and cold gear isn't a big thing, but jerseys or shorts and stuff. Anything would help.

I currently own a tri shirt I earned and a pair of arm warmers I had on the plane.

I can cover shipping

basketball shorts chafe like you would not believe.

my computer and camera were on my person.
everything else was a total loss.

Man, that's terrible!

Hopefully your insurance will cover a bunch of the stuff.

napa valley, was out here to help family, apartment went. seemed cheaper just to stay. Bike shop liked me enough to send me my bikes.

I am staying with someone who hates the fact i cycle, and I can't legally drive. Makes life interesting.

Itemize your losses and turn it into the insurance company.

Probably not, but maybe he has renters insurance.

Sorry about the loss, dude. I hope you figure everything out.

hopefully the OP had renter's insurance. when i rented i remember it being dirt cheap, something like 11 or 12 dollars a month, for a policy that would have easily covered everything i owned at the time.

Why would they hate the fact that you cycle? It's not like you're dragging them behind your bike every time you go for a ride. In fact, it probably gets you out of the house a lot so they have the place to themselves.

my guess is that it's related to courts proclivity to having unexpected seizures.

Court man we need your sizes! I have a few jerseys that I'm too fat for now that I'd be glad to get out of the closet. If you're really into getting some free shorts I may have a couple pairs of those as well.

I've got two sets of Canari bibs/jerseys leftover from last year with our old sponsor's green & white color scheme if interested. I believe I also have a matching set of arm warmers too.

They're both L and too big for me.
