Rêve Tour :: Ride Kate! Ride!

.
If you don’t know about the Rêve Tour, you should. And if you don’t know Kate Powlison, you should.

The Rêve Women’s Tour is a team of six women who will take on the entire Tour de France route, just [...]

My Alibi :: A Kickstarter for Women’s Cycling Gear

.
Abbie Durkee with her Hunter SingleSpeed Not long ago Abbie Durkee and I became connected around a theme central to both our lives – women in cycling.  Abbie’s experience in cycling brought her to believe that the greatest constraint for women to begin cycling is the clothes.  Determined to make a change, My Alibi was born.  Abbie’s passion for creating women’s clothing that truly compliments a cycling lifestyle is apparent in every stitch. My Alibi pieces are comfortable, well made [...]
