Free Bike-Fitting Clinic Puts Recreational Riders of all Ages & Abilities on the Right Path – While Supporting Local Schools and Sustainable Living

The Studio in Danville is teaming up with Giant Bikes, Danville Bike Shop, Street Smarts and Sustainable Danville Area to host the GIANT Bike-Fitting Clinic on May 22, 2011 from 1-4pm at their group-fitness facility located along the Iron Horse Trail (in the Rose Garden retail center, 730 Camino Ramon at Sycamore Valley Blvd).

It's easy to see why May is national Bike Month, since spring is an ideal time for bike riding. Yet most folks who are dusting off their bikes now (or wishing they had one) are wondering why they struggle with comfort, performance and overall enjoyment of cycling. This free community event goes far beyond helping adult and youth riders identify bike styles that best match their needs and goals. Bikers of all ages and abilities get the opportunity to experience a brand new model from the 2011 Giant Bike Collection that has been custom-fitted to complement their unique body mechanics, dimensions and strength, as well as their preferred riding style.

There will be a diverse selection of bikes to demo, ranging from casual beach cruisers to high performance race models. It will be easy to purchase any of these custom-fitted bikes, and it's definitely encouraged since 10% of proceeds will be donated to a local school (of the customers' choice) or to the Juvenile Diabetes Re women's coats search Foundation.

"This Bike-Fitting Clinic is intended to be experiential," says Dana Prieto, Fitness Director at The Studio. "The bikes will be set up on stands (trainers) so that the public can feel what it's like to ride a racing bike versus a bike intended for cruising. It's important to have your indoor fitness routine prepare you to enjoy an active lifestyle. Our studio cycling class is a perfect complement for outdoor cycling."

Danville Bikes will be conducting expert bike fittings and demonstrations on clipless pedals, as well as offering advice about saddle and helmet fit. Giant Bicycle Representative and USA Cycling Coach, Kelli Poindexter, will be available to discuss women-specific bike issues and to guide people on apparel considerations that support year-round comfort and performance; a large selection of cycling clothing will be available for purchase. Team ClubSport will be on hand to provide information about local training and racing for cyclists of all ages and abilities.

Mike Stewart, Account Executive of Giant Bicycle adds, "This event is not only a great way to raise awareness of the benefits of cycling during National Bike Month, it gives people a chance to feel the dramatic difference that a properly adjusted bike makes for a riding experience. Giant Bicycle is here to help Diablo Valley residents find the appropriate bike to fit both their cycling lifestyle and their specific sizing requirements."

Sustainable Danville Area (SDA) has organized an informal family-friendly ride that will start at 11:30am that day on the Iron Horse Trail near the San Ramon Valley High School. They've also negotiated some tasty lunch deals for folks who want to "refuel" on their way to/from the event, thanks to some of the Town's newly-recognized sustainable businesses. Riders can indulge by simply showing their bike helmets when ordering at Norm's Place on Hartz, La Boulange Bakery on Railroad or Jules Thin Crust in The Livery. SDA's co-founders point out, "You couldn't ask for a more ideal community to ride your bike in… Danville and its neighboring cities enjoy a mild climate, lush landscape and flat terrain makes it so enjoyable to ride all year around. And being located midway along the 18.5-mile Iron Horse Trail (in which one million people travel along each year), riders of all abilities can safely pedal to just about anywhere they need to go."

India Clothing – Sarees, Salwar Kameez & Kurtas for Summer 2011

ShalinIndia, an India shopping online store, brings, for men and women, a new range of summer dresses in coarse cotton fabric and natural colors. They are airy and designed to absorb sweat better.

Beat the heat this summer with unique summer dresses from India. Enjoy the sunshine under the protective cover of light and airy Indian clothing – sarees, salwar kameez, caftans, skirts, tops, long rectangular scarfs for women and kurtas and pyjamas for men.

ShalinIndia's summer dresses are made of coarse cotton fabric woven on handlooms. "Coarse cotton fabric absorbs sweat better and as a result the fabric does not stick to your body," says Shalini Verma, founder of ShalinIndia. "Besides, the loose fit of these dresses makes them airy and helps evaporate body sweat faster," adds Shalini Verma.

"The Indian saree is one of the most graceful dresses ever made for women. ShalinIndia's handloom woven cotton sarees, salwar kameez and caftans in subdued natural colors are specially designed to cater to the tastes of non-Indian women. Similarly, the long kurta and pyjama set, a comfort dress for men, makes for a great evening wear. One can wear them for the evening parties and stand out from the rest, while feeling relaxed and comfortable," adds Shalini Verma.

"ShalinIndia also brings for summer 2011, unique crinkled and beaded colorful cotton scarves that serve not only as elegant accessories for women, but also help to protect the face and body from the scorching Sun. These long cotton scarves are multi- purpose, and one can drape them as sarongs while enjoying on the beach," added Shalini Verma.
Fashion is incomplete without jewellery. Accordingly, ShalinIndia brings traditional and antique style India jewelry in sterling silver and gemstones. Silver has unique cooling properties and, therefore, suitable in warm weather. This al women's coats so explains why silver jewelry is so popular among Indian women. "Among our jewelry, especially suitable for summer, are belly-chains, armlets, and ankle bracelets in sterling silver; they are casual, charming and popular with women of all ages," said Shalini Verma.

ShalinIndia aims to make India online shopping easy for its customers. Its products are stored in India, US, UK, France, Germany and Canada. Shalini Verma says, "we deliver on time and reliably in any part of the world; our customers also do not need to worry about customs charges as items are often shipped from the same country locations, and we provide 'no questions asked' return and refund facility to our customers."

ShalinIndia is an online India shopping store selling mainly jewelry, clothing and home and garden products. Besides, selling its products through its own site, shalinindia.com, it also sells its products as ShalinIndia brand through Amazon in the US, UK, France, Germany and Japan, and through eBay in the US and UK.

Zappos Announces Back-to-School Looks for Juniors

Zappos.com, the online leader in clothing and shoes for men, women and kids, announces hot trends for juniors for the back-to-school season.

Casual, 80s-era retro styles are popular for juniors' tops. Burnout style shirts, acid washes and muted colors are big this season. Tank tops in loud colors or geometric prints are perfect to bring a bit of summer back to the classroom, especially when paired with a cardigan and jeans to ward off the chill of the air conditioning. As the weather turns cooler, look for last year's trend of plaid and flannel button-up shirts to remain a warm and stylish choice. Three-quarter-sleeve shirts bridge the gap between warm summer days and cooler fall ones and easily mix with cropped jackets or vests.

The skinny leg is persisting as the go-to silhouette for juniors' jeans, but big flared legs are also making a comeback, and Zappos has a shape to flatter every figure. Skinny or matchstick jeans in a dark wash can look modern when paired with feminine tops, or take on a punk-rock edge with a fitted t-shirt and a pair of boots. Flared jeans are the foundation for bohemian looks, especially in lighter or distressed washes.

One look that should be in every junior's wardrobe is a boot-cut pair of dark jeans and a shrunken blazer in black, navy or gray. A pair of ballet flats or boots makes this slightly dressed-up outfit just right for an in-class presentation or a fun night out with friends.

The options are endless when it comes to lugging books around while still looking great. Backpacks are ideal for complementing casual looks and carrying heavier loads. A tote is a perfectly stylish solution for a book and a few notebooks, and a messenger bag is just right for a laptop.

Find the best looks for juniors to go back to school in style at Zappos!
