In terms of clothing and gear, the collection of all items used for a specific purpose. "cycling kit" "military kit" etc
Wait, this was a sirius question right?

ROFL - Nobody can top that.
Seriously, the term 'kit' comes from the British military and it means standard equipment and attire. Thus, bibs and jerseys are cycling 'kit'.

I agree that it's bibs and jersey. Apparently if you are an online shop in europe, a kit is jersey, bibs, wind jacket, arm warmers, socks and a cap and costs in the neighborhood of $500.

I feel so much better. Was concerned I'd have to switch from cycling gear to baggy pants and a tee shirt to avoid being a poseur. I assume one sub-classification of poseur is anyone who wears a team kit who doesn't actually ride for that team regardless of their ability?
The 41 needs to form a committee and create a sticky to define such things. We could each get a QR tattoo defining our place in the cycling hierarchy. Or, absent a tattoo, at least have the QR available on your phone.

FWIW - 2 or 3 wrecks of sponsored racers this year have personally cost me a couple of grand in shaved kits, wheels, parts and pieces. Silly sport we support here....
No one makes me do it I guess...

I don't race but I thought you were not allowed to wear team kits unless you were actually racing for that club/team. You would be disqualified.
