Over the summer many of you who ride with me might have
gotten tired of seeing me sport an OORR kit. Well, I was product testing not
only for a RoadBikeRider.com review, but also for Tim Christian the founder of
OORR (Out of the Rat Race). Tim is based in Australia and has created a company
to produce high quality apparel with attention to detail using recycled
materials.
OORR uses recycled plastic bottles and used coffee grounds
in the construction of their fabric. Yep, sounds crazy, but I can attest to how
soft the material is against your skin, how well it wicks, and that it provides
great odor control.
I cover all the details on OORR’s women’s kit including fabric
and construction here
in a recent product review in RBR. Brandon reviewed the men’s version here.
At the end of October OORRlaunched their Kickstarter campaign and just recently hit their goals.
There’s still time for you to support this campaign and have one of these
unique cycling or running kits for yourself.
With Thanksgiving only a few days away, we all have a lot to
be thankful for. The environment is not something we can take for granted, so
as cyclists we need to continue our quest to reduce our carbon footprint. I can’t
help but worry what the next administration will do as they deny global warming
and pledge to change policies that endanger our world.
There are a few things we can do in the next week. #OptOutside
on black Friday. #SmallBusinessSaturday and #ShopLocal for the holidays. And
most of all remember those less fortunate on #GivingTuesday.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and enjoy the ride,
Sheri
