Last week was really not my week for biking, I had another incident. Friday I’m riding home from work :/ (work + bike seems to equal problems) speeding down the road when all of the sudden something goes wrong. I hear this terrible tearing sound and I can’t peddle anymore. I look down, and to my horror the right leg of my favorite pair of pants has been mostly gobbled by the gears of my bike.
I get home, a little upset, and decide that I’m going to go online and find a new pair just like the ones that were destroyed. They’re Levi’s 569 “Graphite” Corduroys so I figure it should be relatively easy to find, Levi’s is a big brand. Well I was fooled. I searched high and low for about 30 min without finding any 569 Corduroys, let alone the grey ones I wanted. I kept finding the jeans of the same style but not the corduroys and I was beginning to be a little frustrated. The all of the sudden…
VICTORY!!! Not only do I find the pants I want they are only $15. So what do I do? I order a pair, then I order another, and another. Actually, I just ordered 3 at once but the result is the same. I’m a little afraid I’m going to become one of those people that wears the same outfit all the time, but I love these pants so I don’t care.
UPDATE: Several people (who amazingly I don’t know) have asked where I got my corduroys. I found them on JCPenny.com if you do a search on their website it’ll go strait to them.

Hi there
Strangely enough, I was just looking for my OWN pair of Levi’s 569 corduroys to buy online. Alas, no luck yet. But I came across your posting and thought I might ask, “Where did you get yours?” I realize it’s been a few months since your success story transpired, but there’s no harm in asking, right? Thanks for reading this, and if you have a minute and have the info handy, I’d truly appreciate the info.
Best regards, K.K.
