New Baton Rouge Bike Club Jerseys
The Baton Rouge Bike Club's jersey this year is a special offering that represents cycling in our great state by including the Louisiana symbols of the pelican and the state colors, integrated with bike-related images in a professionally designed bike jersey. Made of light weight, yet durable materials -- designed for comfort in Louisiana's warm climate and including club member's requests for a comfortable 3/4 length zipper -- this jersey is an all around winner in comfort and style.
Do some comparative shopping for silk screened jerseys and you'll likely find comparable jerseys costing well over $80. The silk screened process costs us a little more to set up, but is worth the extra cost as it gives bright color separation and more vivid colors. This jersey costs only $55--and you can pick it up at one of four local bike shops. Or, add another $5 and we can mail it to your home address--your choice. Club sponsors have enabled us to offer you this first class jersey at a reduced cost, so be sure to visit them the next time you need something for your bike. Club sponsors are: Dave's Bike Repair, Pedal Play, Capitol Cyclery, and The Bicycle Shop.
As are all European sizes, be sure to follow the sizing chart for a good fit. As some riders prefer a snug fit, order one size larger or if you prefer a looser fit, get one two sizes larger than your normal size. You can get up to a 4X size for the $55 cost, or if you need a 5X the price is $15 more. 6X and larger are not available. The club will place an order for a limited number of jerseys on July 6th so if you want one in your size at this discounted price, get your order in now.
