Desperately in need of a new cycling jersey, I decided to have one made which reflected something of my personality. Something whimsical, geeky and steampunk. Something to do with computers, perhaps. Something with my number one heroine on it. Hmm.
Fortunately, just the right design exists (by the excellent Sydney Padua) from her wonderful comic book The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage (buy it here). Sadly, other than the book, there’s no merchandise for these characters – and certainly no cycling merchandise. Sydney kindly gave me permission to use her designs so that I could make one of my own. As you can see, it worked out rather well.
I do have some rides that I really should blog (a night ride at the very least), but I was hoping to persuade Sarah to write it for me (practice since she’ll be live-blogging the actual ride). We might be waiting a while…
