A new item was added to my pages on cultural icons under the category Cycling.
In 2021 Walz Caps was promoting its Iowa Technical Cycling Cap. The cap made by Walz cycling apparel in southern California near San Diego. The $27.00 cap was probably made for Iowa’s famed RAGBRAI (the Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa), a seven-day, 470 miles (800 km) bicycle ride across the state. The cap features the state’s name and stylized wind turbines. Iowa gets a higher percentage of its electricity from wind energy than from any other US state—58% in 2020.
