Minding the Store
As if you didn't already have enough on your plate this weekend, along comes the 30th annual SkiBonkers ski and snowboard sale. If you can spare some time from Bumbershootin', make your way down to the Westfield Southcenter north parking lot for this winter sports blowout.

Wearing your bicycle helmet might be the law, but it can also be a fashion disaster. Not anymore, thanks to Michael Morrow, the founder of Portland-based Nutcase Helmets. The company's bright helmets come in a spectrum of patterns, colors and cool graphics that make wearing your helmet -- dare we say it -- cool.

When "World's Largest Running Store" Road Runner Sports
came to town a few years ago, I ignored the store entirely, continuing to buy my shoes and gear
from one of the local shops. Last week, though, a friend who is the fitness director at Seattle Athletic Club suggested I check out Road Runner in Greenlake. He said I would find
both fit experts and a selection every bit as good as the local shops.

A random sample taken from men who practice yoga revealed where they get their yoga wear: Goodwill -- or their sweats-and-worn-T's-filled bottom drawer. OK, I actually only asked two guys in my yoga class. But after observing men in improvised yoga wear for years during my own practice, I'm pretty sure my survey results are accurate.

Even if your feet aren't fleet, there's no excuse for wearing sneakers that are behind the times. The same people who brought comfy Campers (the only heels you'd wear on a pub-crawl) and stylish snow boots to Ballard have opened a shoe store for your inner track star.

Does that little nip in the air mean it's time to stock up on Trader Joe’s canned soup and get ready to hibernate? Nah. It just means it's time to check out Snowboard Connection’s spankin’ new South Lake Union store and prepare to strut your stuff in the snow.

Athletic types might scoff at coasting, the newest trend in cycling, but I love the idea of a bike ride that doesn’t involve clip-on pedals and padded shorts.

In this era of rising gas prices and ever-spreading gridlock, we need new ways to make the trip between points A and B. Here's one you may not have previously considered: roller skates.
