I'm Lani, the Owner at Tandem NY, the Skirtweight company :) You can purchase a Skirtweight on the UK-based bike website www.DaisyWheel.co.uk or on our website www.TandemNY.com We've found that it works best clipped to the front, middle of your skirt; not to the side... but wear it wherever you find it most comfortable!

It's a neat sort of color. How is the componentry?<br /><br />I help pick out a very nice vintage Nishiki Mixte for a friend's birthday present, and he felt it too nice to ride!<br />(He ended up with my ROG Pony Yugoslav folding bike, which makes him deliriously happy and gives him near terminal bikey-face. Mission accomplished.)<br /><br />Herself is trying to see if she can make the numbers to get that Nishiki for herself. It is a very cool little bike. <br /><br />Pics here: <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/77617662@N00/sets/72157645682787483/" rel="nofollow">1982 Nishiki Olympic 12 Mixte</a><br />Corey Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15381826721030941179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467858377106451384.post-68205340597267511752014-07-30T12:26:49.798-04:002014-07-30T12:26:49.798-04:00That's a beautiful little clip with the wheel ...That's a beautiful little clip with the wheel logo. I wonder if the designer is a golfer, because this is basically an adaption of a ball-marker clip that attaches to the brim of your hat. Google "golf marker clip" and you'll see what I mean. In the U.S. at least these are widely available not only at pro shops (like at a golf course) but in big-box stores, not to mention a zillion online golf stores and Amazon and the like. Toss the ball marker that's magnetically attached to it and otherwise will fly off, and you're all set, if not as fashionable (which I do not mock--beauty matters). Don't know why this didn't occur to me when you were talking about this issue a while back.Christopher Fotosnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467858377106451384.post-32900531542461831212014-07-30T08:18:39.970-04:002014-07-30T08:18:39.970-04:00Thanks for taking part everyone.
