Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

But it's the least aero bit of clothing possible, essentially like having a small parachute strapped to the back of your neck. If you wear it up you have to tie is as tightly as you can else it pops off the back, and when it's down it slows you down. It may be warm after cycling but during it it's like anti-cycle, just a design that doesn't mix with an activity that invloves you moving through the air at a rate of knots.

I can't say I've noticed my hood billowing out behind me like a ship sail and slowing me down as you dramatically describe. Mine just lies on my back, behind my head and out of the wind.

And to keep my bonce warm I have a couple of rapha neck-warmers, two head bands, one thermal skull cap as well as cotton caps, and possibly a rapha condom hat to be added

I have a Cadence hoodie (don't think it's the Scoot's-fave, mine doesn't have the thumb loops).

It is very nicely cut for the skinny hipster around town. Short in the body, long in the arm and the hood is small (probably even aero tt helmet style jimmy). Thick elasticated hems and high (buttoned with a tab) neckline are all really good details that make it about as good a jumper is ever going to be for riding in.

Thing is you can't beat bibs, a baselayer a jersey and armwarmers so I just wear it off the bike.

tl:dr

Scoot buy the Cadence hoodie.

^^ just to make it clear I don't wear bibs, baselayer, jersey and armwarmers off the bike.

;)

I want to but the small is sold out :(

Where stocks cadence? It's nice shit.

gonna post this up in here as well as in the bike blog thread,Peter Walker doing a piece comparing and contrasting Vulpine with Levi's, you can pretty much figure out what side of the fence he's going to come down on, but what I find eye opening are the pretty virulent and reactionary comments, and the bile and scorn thrown upon the fixie skidder or anyone wearing lycra, it seems that the old japanese proverb of "the nail that sticks out, is hammered down" is alive and well and telling you what you should do in the UK..

Thanks for posting this Corny. I started reading the comments but quickly got distracted by the feature on handbags...

Admittedly I've never bought a cycling-specific hoodie, but wearing my normal hoodies is a pain, you definately can't wear them up because the fill with air, and I'd be surprised in anyone had managed to come up with a design that negates that entirely. And down it still has the potential to catch the wind, but at the end of the day if you can't wear a hood up when you're riding why wear one at all? There are plenty of more effective/aero head gear for your bonce.

But each to their own: I'm either commuting or on training rides where I'll wear exactly what Miro says, usually plus a pair of Rahpa/Swrve.Howies shorts because I can't entirely give in to lycra, or I'm riding to the pub/shop/park in which case I will wear normal gear, in which case hoodies are ok. Don't want to be wearing one for any significant distance however (commute is 10 miles each way)

Tokyo Fixed Gear stocks some hats and accessories, but not the good stuff.

I emailed TFG about stocking the Agenda 3 hoody, but I expect if they do sell it it would cost more than ordering from the Cadence site and paying shipping ($110 including shipping).

Do you think I would have to pay any importing fees on it if I ordered from the states?

Actually Dustin had a pop up shop last month in London. No doubt it's popped down already.

Edit: yep it was at DS market but ended on the 31st

at least include a Meme

^ doesn't understand what a meme is

It's something started by Yaffle himself in the Blind Watchmaker.

did you hear that at a dinner party?

I was just showing off. Again.

^ doesn't understand what a meme is

I was requested the humourous or otherwise caption that usually accompany such images to see whether I was being insulted or not. Now it seems to be laugh at the luddite day instead

You do not understand what meme means.

I do to, I just read Wikipedia

Good. Then you'll know that you don't have to put words on images.

"should auld aquaintence be forgot".

Now i'm really showing off that I've read that book.

You don't have to, but it helps the recipient of your scorn realise he is being scorned

Moar words, less pictures.....

I think you'll find it's scones.

Pronounced "scones".

lol
