New Cap
I guess I’m going through a phase for cycling caps (aka Biretta). Last Christmas there was my favourite winter cap made by a guy in Vancouver . I wrote about it here. Then I got one in Copenhagen from Cykler Schroeder that I wore during Cycling for Libraries (when it wasn’t raining & cold). Then last week I got another one from the Giro di Burnaby.
Then last weekend at the Vancouver Folk Fest I came upon a booth run by these guys who had a couple dozen charming, nifty, made in Vancouver cycling caps. I bought a nice houndstooth linen one with a racing stripe. Note that these are a completely separate group of cottage-industry cycling-gear makers than the guy who made my winter cap (see above).
And then, just today, Youtube offered to show me, apropos of nothing, this video. It must be fate.
I can see why you’re building a cycling cap collection. These are really nice caps! I wonder if I could pull one off? There’s a few in the galstudio that are calling to me. Great video too. I’ve added it to my collection of bicycle videos. Thanks for sharing these links.
