More Treats! More Shopping! And Panties! Bike Style Event June 29

OK, I’m asking for trouble (or a whole lot of really random and inappropriate blog comments, which I will moderate) with the word “panties” in this post….

Panties are just one of the reasons you’ll want to swing by the LaunchPadINW space and Nectar Tasting Room next Wednesday, June 29, from 4-7pm ( so share this post, the EventBrite invitation, and/or the Facebook event with all your friends!). Here are some more reasons (and more explanation of the panties):

Poster for Pedal Panties: Underwear for extra comfort on your bike saddle that fits under regular clothes. Made in US. — Pedal Panties. You know you want 'em. Or need 'em.

Participating creators/curators of cool things (I will keep updating the list; be aware that several can accept only checks/cash):

Wine: Taste great Washington wines from Nectar Tasting Room & take some home!

The perfect pairing for wine: Local goat’s-milk cheese—feta & flavored chevres—from Chattaroy Cheese Co.
