Do you have what it takes to pedal your way up the steep inclines of French mountains for days on end? Are you brave in the face of such challenges as peeing in your bike shorts because there’s no time to stop, blisters where the sun don’t shine, and leg cramps that feel like you’re giving birth out of your calf muscles? Neither am I! But I bet you’re up for the challenge of finding the best cycling-related item on Etsy, non?
This week the Etsy Voter pays tribute to the Tour de France and all the bikers in our community — be they pro cyclists, bike messengers, mountain bikers, or fair weather three-speeders. We asked our readers to nominate their favorite bicycle items last week. Now it’s your turn to vote! On your mark…Get set…
Next Monday we’ll announce the winner. No, the prize is not a yellow shirt. The winner and the top runners-up will be featured in the Members’ Choice Gift Guides and here on the Etsy blog, so show your favorite sellers some love and get out the vote!

Great post! As a cyclist myself, I had to pick the sweatshirt, since I'm hungering for cross-clothes myself: items I can fashionably wear all day AND functionally wear biking 20 miles or so....It was a very hard choice though, there were so many great items. So: off the computer now & onto my bike!

I love that grocery getting bicycle bag! I could have used one of those when I did all my grocery shopping on bike. It's a bit of a challenge to not bruise up your apples when grocery shopping! For sure one of the best bicycle related things I have seen!

Very cool stuff! I must say I am a bit disappointed that the item with, by far, the most votes is more related to a tractor than to a bicycle, since bicycles don't have GEARS. :oP
