Awesome Cycling T-Shirts



Is it a boy thing to like t-shirts? When it comes to clothes shopping I'm really not that bothered until it comes to t-shirts. I love buying t-shirts and find the task of reducing down my collection to make way for new ones very hard. I also don't understand why people buy branded up t-shirts when you could have something so much more original on your t-shirt.

I recently ordered five new t-shirts from the excellent Threadless web site. Threadless is a 'community' web site where you can vote for which designs you like and even submit your own t-shirt designs. However these aren't just any old designs, they have to be something different to get printed or as they say "We're not talking your fraternity's logo or a photo of your new puppy. We're talking an idea so amazing that your eyeballs may explode if you stare too long!"  Why am I telling you this on a cycling blog? Well they have a good range of cycling related t-shirts.

As most of the readers of this blog are from the UK I thought you'd like to know that they can deliver to the UK quite cheaply and as the exchange rate is in our favour the t-shirts are really good value for money. The only warning I have for you is that sometimes you get charged VAT and a handling charge by the Post Office. Why this is only sometimes I don't know but just be aware. The handling charge was £8 when I was hit with it...
