Everything You Need to Know When Buying Bike Shorts
If you’re a cyclist, triathlete or Spin class participant, you’ve probably noticed an overwhelming amount of “female-specific” products in your bike shop. You can usually spot the womens’ products a mile away—they’re often pink. Very pink.

Soffe Athletic Wear: Oh, to Be a Teenager Again!
Soffe Athletic Wear is probably best known for its short little cheerleading shorts. In fact, I don’t think I’ve worn anything by Soffe since high school.
