When I started riding... I always laughed at the roadies in their spandex and jerseys...
Now that I'm putting more and more miles on my road bike... Yep, I'm rocking padded shorts... I'm still too much of a puss to ride just spandex, so I fred out and ride with breathable basketball shorts on top.
And I haven't ordered a jersey yet, cause I am pussing out still and won't think one will fit me for a while; but I want one soo badly so that I can stop having my under seat bag.
I also bought red annodized presta valve caps... Cause I like the way they look.
