Wonder Undies!

Kanageroo hasn’t really won a great deal in lotteries or the like over the years (despite hitting the jackpot in so many other ways), so it was a pleasant surprise last week to win a great prize!

That prize was a gift coupon for undies!

Kangaeroo won the undies through a website called Miles.

Miles is a downloaded phone app (at least that’s how I use it) that keeps a record of all my travel.

A bit ominous perhaps, but I have nothing to fear and my phone is tracking my every move and sending all the data anywhere, anyway.

Mrs. Kangaeroo encouraged the download, considering how much cycling I do.

So, I downloaded the app and kept fairly consistent tabs on it.

The premise, or so I believe, is to accumulate points and then use those points for purchases or discounts on buys.

The trouble with the app was, no matter how many points I built up, I could only earn discounts. I wasn’t too keen on paying, so I just kept storing points for miles moved.

Then, I discovered that the app held raffles and I could take part in these by using the points I had built up.

I promptly joined in whatever was available, and took part in each raffle while using the maximum number of points possible to increase my chances of winning.

Didn’t win much.

Didn’t win anything, in fact, except for the marvelous 2Under undies.

Claiming the prize required registration.

Unfortunately, this was automated from an old address.

I promptly notified the people at 2Under and they responded.

Within a few days of winning the raffle, I found myself with an awesome pair of luxury undies.

It was a delight to have such super skids.

They were delivered in an extremely fancy box.

The undies feel good, fit perfectly and have gone some way to changing the way I view undergarments (in a way that only Heat Tech has ever done before).

Perhaps most importantly, though, the undies come equipped with a Joey Pouch, the name that 2Under give to the added space they provide in the front of the jocks to give room “to support your equipment in comfort and style.” (Company’s words!)

Hard for a Kangaeroo to disagree about the special merits of a joey!

Cop A Gander At These Rippers Too...

  • Summer Cycling Sways Silent Sweetness

    For the second year in a row we have been able to have a reasonable undemanding summer season, which is an absolute delight as the hottest time of the year has traditionally meant gruelling hard work as it is our busiest time of the year. The pandemic and pretty lousy sales people have ensured that we do not have to put in overtime; in the office at least. There’s not enough time in the day for me as I continue my pursuit of the goal to cycle a circumnavigation of the world in a year (which requires pedaling over 28,000 km or so).

  • May As Well Just Get Out On The Bike

    There’s almost no work going on, it’s hard to shop and I can’t do much else, so I have been getting out and riding my bike as much as I can. This pandemic is filling me with fear, especially with Mrs. Kangaeroo working in a care facility for the elderly. My doctor warned me to take special precautions as I am part of the susceptible population through age and health state. At least riding doesn’t require contact.

  • Mist-ical

    Nature conjured up a mystical morning as the warm air over the icy Tama River created a fabulous world of mist. It’s common around this time of year to have mist over the river. The effect creates a surrealistic atmosphere. It’s difficult cycling as visibility is greatly reduced, and my eyesight is already too poor for pre-dawn riding. But the upside of that is being presented with the opportunity to slowly pedal through the fantastic scenery. And the cold, dark early hour of my rides means that I pretty much get to have the sight to myself. Moments like this morning are sheer bliss. Moreover, now that I am not…

  • Tour de Kagoshima-Kyoto Day -1A: Tama Hills to Haneda

    Kangaeroo started a epic journey on the morning of September 29. Leaving the United States Air Force Tama Hills Recreation Reserve in Inagi, Kangaeroo hit the Tamagawa Cycling Road. The bike track follows the Tama River to its mouth at Tokyo Bay, leading directly to Haneda Airport. From Haneda, it was a several-hour wait before heading to Kagoshima on the wonderful Solaseed Air, which was cheap and efficient. Brommie was packed into a bag with an assortment of items and the trip ended safely.  The day started a Tama Hills Recreation Center, which had once been an arsenal for the Imperial Japanese Army. Covered by a canopy, the arsenal was…

  • Oops, I Did It Again! (Sorry Britney!)

    With deepest apologies to Britney Spears, I have managed to ‘do it again;’ the ‘it‘ in this case being an extremely pricey bike crash. Fortunately, perhaps, with typical self-absorption I’d forgotten how badly my ASTUTO VASARA bicycle was affected by the accident. The crash occurred in early November 2025. Following the crash, I rode the bike roughly 100 kilometers, and took it on the train, but hadn’t focused on its damage. Subsequently, I was so caught up in my pain, recovery, and then the holidays, that I basically forgot all about it. I broke my leg in the accident and finally started rehabilitation last night. As the physiotherapy clinic is…
