They have some pretty cheap stuff on there, and they do free postage to Canada - not sure about the US, though. I have a couple of the Prorace bandanas that do the trick for me (I have short hair too). The yellow one really shows up the dirt from oil and what not, the blue one isn't so bad.

I keep my hair REALLY short, and I live in Salt Lake City, where the sun is intense. I insist on wearing the helmet (especially because I want my son to see me wearing it), but I don't want red stripes all over my head!

At least buying locally I can try them on, though it doesn't make it any easier finding jerseys that fit, especially longsleeve jerseys...

Tons of stores carry nice wicking shirts for commuting, but it's hard to locate a decent pair of knickers that don't cost $100 . Knickers are great for cool and cold mornings, no need for leg warmers, plus are more "office friendly" than spandex shorts. Black preferrably, as kacky shows sweat and road stripes more...

What a great way to spread the word about using your bike for more than a coat rack or weekend exercise. I know that Velowear used to do bike to work T shirts during bike to work month. Make mine XXL and L, got to get the wife one. I think some commuting tech wear,with logos of course, would be cool.
