Stuff I bought that I love: Hillary Clinton Tee

Thank you for this gem, Print Liberation. This t-shirt is perfect for my low-key, domestic life. The perfect shirt to cover my fiery little Hillary-loving heart.


I heard Al Gore speak the other night at the Clinton Library. He started out super-boring but got riled up and took us to what I'm describing as Climate Change Church. I loved one of his ideas for how we can help the environment is by educating girls all over the world. Education equals empowerment and if they had access and knowledge about their fertility control, the world's population could level off. (and individual female's economic opportunities expand and contribute to the global economy, but that's a bigger story.)

Educating girls all around the world is the same thing Hillary has been championing since she was First Lady speaking about Women's rights are human rights and working with Madeline Albright to bring womens issues to the forefront of US Foreign Policy.

When I hear about Hillary running in 2016 I see her flying through the air like Michael Jordan in a 180 dunk. I am a fan of celebrations and anticipation and I'm thankful I'm going to get years out of this biggie.

I haven't ridden this one that much yet, but I'll tell you some reasons I love her and even though I've only ridden her about fifty miles, I did sit on her every day for the first entire week she was here. Even if I just sat on her for a second or slowly and gingerly rode her a tiny bit inside the apartment.

The first time I rode this bike, I was five miles out of town before I knew it. It's so light and easy and fast! I had to use the GPS on my phone to find out where I was, got scared, and went home because I had absolutely nothing but my phone. No tools, no lights, nothing.

So I don't have very many informed opinions but I can remark on first impressions.

Fonts. Her fonts are magnificent. The color-scheme too.



It's a speedy road bike that's actually designed for women. And the Trek "Women's specific design" logo is good.

For some of my shopping process, I thought I was going to end up with a men's bike, because they're not actually that different- these treks. This one being so sexy and women's specific design helped me pull the trigger. 

I just love this sticker. It's telling you A helmet is not an option. A helmet is standard operating equipment. The end. 


The thoughtfulness of the designers putting that turquoise on the inside of the fork.


I also love that it weighs about as much as a kitten's eyelash and the mostly-black and white color scheme will help me match my gear and get-ups. 

I've bought some bike clothes from Aerotech Designs. Beware! The website looks dorky at first, but there are some good things in there. They have affordable, Made in USA bicycle clothes and I'm very happy with the items I've bought. 

I also will do a post about the shopping experience for this bike, because it was totally radical and deserves internet broadcast.
