Well – the STORE is now open! And boy do we have a way to open it. We have a limited edition ‘Bonebell Dirtbag’ jersey and matching bib shorts up for sale for the next 14 days only. We were fortunate to have local Chicago graphic design artist and Cyclocross Cat 3 speed king, Brandon Leach, design the look of this limited edition set. The design pays homage to Chicago, and clearly states elegantly that the wearer of this jersey is indeed a ‘dirtbag‘. The colors blend in to the site as well as it will into the beautiful playground of the forests of singletrack anywhere.
Derka Derka!
Why Buy?
Buy purchasing a jersey or both jersey and shorts – you are helping us provide some sweet returns for the dirtbag community. The more we can sell, the better obviously, and though it may seem like a mad money making profit scheme, the reality of it is – well, it’s not. The jersey and shorts are well priced quality pieces of gear from Verge Sports that should provide you hours of comfort in the saddle these coming late spring, summer, and fall months of Chicago. Proceeds from this and other sales will help ‘The Bonebell’ create opportunities to give back to organizations such as CAMBr and the Chicago Cross Cup. You would truly be supporting the dirtbag community. Show us your love and support and we promise to keep The Bonebell tollin’ for all things off-road and keep the information keepin’ on flowing through the web to keep you informed about dirty shenanigans in Chicago.
Spread the word – buy a jersey, or a full kit, it’ll make you look like the coolest kid on the block. We most likely won’t reproduce this kit again – so get it while it’s available for order! We’ll be spreading the word, and we hope you spread it with us!
New Contributor
Julia Daher is our new dirtbag contributor for ‘The Bonebell’! She is local phenom on the dirt and the entire Bonebell Crew have been most happy to have gotten to know her and have her travel with us on various off-road excursions across the midwest. She is incredibly enthused about preaching the off-road cycling news to not just her teammates, but to all women who are interested in knowing, learning, and trying off-road cycling out for the first time. Us men in the crew, try as we might, can’t always deliver the best perspective that is best served undoubtedly by a gracious dirt bag-ette. We’re not sold on the ‘bagette’ part – but we’ll leave that up to Julia to conform a new word to the dirtbag lexicon that means awesome woman dirt bagger. Expect upcoming articles from her very soon!
So awesome to see Julia joining your ranks! I will look forward to her dispatches. One thing though – why do you need a separate term for women dirt bags? Why can’t they just be dirt bags, too? You don’t call yourself male dirt bags, after all. Women lawyers are just lawyers and a black president is still the POTUS. Dropping the unnecessary separate terms is more equitable.
Hmm..great question. We had no real particular thinking behind gender and its relation to ‘dirtbag’, but perhaps we were mostly thinking of having something exclusive to women. Which is exactly why we needed Julia on board to set our selves straight!
