      Abbie-thanks for the update and patience with your start up wrinkles. I like the 2013 digital catalogue, sweet. I really like the pedal pushers and anxious to order up and receive some new articles from the fall line up. Are you going to Interbike? I have never been and planning to go.

      Be well,
      Mike.

      Alicia,
      We have contacted you through email. Email us at info@myalibiclothing.com. This is not a problem, per se, as you pledged for 'no reward' but I am happy to honor your intention to pledge for Bloomers. Please send us our size, color, shipping info. Thanks again for your support!

      I have not received my bloomers, nor was I contacted for my size. Who do I get in contact with to remedy this problem?

      I absolutely love my bloomers. Comfy! I'm a nurse practitioner and have been feeling very unprofessional walking in in bike shorts to work. I wore the bloomers under a prana skirt and it has been great. Of course the first day I wore them I ran into a client and family as I made my way to my office. So glad I'll never have fear again. Plus riding in a skirt when it's 90 degrees is so much breezier than bike shorts!! Thanks. I'll be buying more:)

      Thanks Sierra,
      Still trying to get Outdoor Divas to put them in the store (drop them a suggestion, it may help). REI in Denver is the closest right now. BUT they are available online at myalibiclothing.com! Thanks for your support!

      Creator Sierra on June 8, 2012

      Just discovered these today! I backed what I could today, and I'm going to start a bloomers fund! I ride my bike to work everyday and definitely need a pair of these, since I can't ride my normal cycling shorts to work! Do you have any retailers in Boulder, CO??

      My wife's first pair of bloomers arrived today. She'll be trying them out before this Kickstarter is over and FULLY FUNDED. My daughters both want a pair now too. I figure when they slow down in the growing dept... ;-)

      The bloomers are AMAZING and I can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the line (which is equally amazing, comfortable, functional and beautiful! ) when the goal is reached! Please support My Alibi so more women can feel as beautiful on a bike :)

      Thanks Rachel!
      I really appreciate your awesome testimonial. Please send a photo of you riding in one of your favorite outfits with the Bloomers to info@myalibiclothing.com so we can enter you into our Ambassador or the Bike program. Monthly we will be selecting My Alibi Customers to highlight on the new website... coming soon!
      I can't wait to share the rest of the line with you and the world. Yesterday we got caught in some rain and my skirt got that silly streak of water up my booty. Quick flip (since it is reversible) and I was in a whole new skirt in less the 2 minutes, and on time to my son's preschool graduation! (My Alibi doesn't always mean I am running late, Chuck Offenburger ;)

      Reminder: Fashion Show in Jefferson at 3pm Saturday May 26th (today) for the Iowa Bike Festival there.

      Smile and enjoy the Ride,
      Abbie

      I live in the Des Moines area and picked up a pair of the bloomers locally a couple weeks ago. They are amazing! I've worn them during bike to work week on the commute, pulling my daughter around town, and on long weekend trail rides and they are much more comfortable than the more expensive ones I got earlier. Not to mention I can wear my regular shorts or capris over them. Can't wait for the rest of the line to come out!
