A few years ago I discovered that I fit into most “outdoor” kids clothing. I would rummage through the racks at REI, Big 5 and Sports Chalet. Back than, I was the lady in the kids section that you were jealous of. Not because I had kids and was looking for cute zip-0ff pants for my toddler, but because I was paying half as much as you did in the adult section!
It was a good life until….
The dream came to an end. I realized that the kids section wasn’t holding a torch to the high quality and well fitted adult section. Now, when I walk into the store (head hung low) I head straight for the good stuff in the adult section. Why don’t they make the kids selection as amazing as adult clothes so that I can go back to paying second hand price for new stuff!
Leave it up to bikeportland.org to relate my story to bikes.
