New in Bike Couture: Jen Nelson for mopundow

I got scooped on this one, but here it is, our official bike team jersey for 2006!

This is ONE of the reasons for my long break from blogging earlier this Spring. Certainly something this "groundbreaking" is sure to have folks abuzz, so here's some answers to the inevitable questions:

1. Why such shocking colors? Yes, it IS bright. To paraphrase a popular line "This whole camouflage thing doesn't work very well. It's like wearing stripes and plaid. When biking on the path, CLASH!"

2. Why mopundow? Turn your head or monitor upside down. Why yes, it DOES read the same way now doesn't it? ;)

3. No sleeves? Isn't that chilly? Yea, ask that of anyone on the ride last year...and be prepared to duck when they take a swing at you!

4. Why'd you crop your head in the photo? I'm that rare breed of fashion designer that doesn't like my face shown. I did take a small byline on the back, I'm not going to give up all the glamour!

5. When's your next line coming out? Don't worry Calvin, Tommy and Giorgio...I'm sticking to jerseys and will not poke my head back into the fashion realm again until 2007!
