Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

My girlfriend demands that I take her jersey off every time.

That's what I get for trying to wear it!

There was a study not too long ago that stated that men had higher IQs than women. They clearly did not have you in this study.

I figured out the trick! My elbows were getting in the way with the cross style removal. This is certainly the way to go. Props to women for inventing this method!

Full zips are the greatest, especially when you forgot to put your heart rate monitor on. Easy for take on take off too.

Yea, I do this too. Grab the bottom of the jersey and peel it upwards over your body. Bottom goes over your head first and it turns itself inside out. The sleeves comes off your hands last and it's inside-out at that point.

Trying to pull it off the back of your neck by the collar like a T-shirt won't work because it's tighter fitting and the sweat will make it stick to your back. You'll have to overcome the friction across the entire surface-area of your torso by pulling on just the collar. Not good to be transmitting all that force through a narrow section of fabric.

By pulling the bottom up and peeling it off, you'll find that the fabric hardly ever slides across your skin. It just lifts off vertically at that point. It's like a rolling vs. sliding tyre.
