What recession?
My 2009 Wiggle tab. I'm not proud.
As another £50 finds its way from my pocket to Wiggle’s today (for a chain and 4 brake pads), I take comfort in this from Velodramatic:
The world economy may be in shambles but those of us who ride and still have a job to go to can always find a way to justify one more piece of Rapha kit. There’s nothing wrong with looking good when times are bad. Just make sure there’s a little something left over for charity.
Velodramatic's Tab: read it and weep.
I know that, however much I splurge on bike bits and cycling essentials, my debits pale into insignificance when compared to Velodramatic’s Tab. The Tab is the most blatant, glorious example of celebrating a bike gear habit on the web. It’s a list of over USD $42,000’s worth of purchases made over the past few years, the majority of it on high-end items and clothing that most of us struggle to justify. The man’s spending is epic, it is shameless, it is immense. To top it all the page itself is a labour of love, an elegant, neatly implemented HTML table with star ratings and links to suppliers where applicable.
I am in awe.
