When I started riding this year biking shorts and moisture wicking tee shirt were just fine. I told myself I would never be one of those bike snobs who wore their kits every time they rode. In September I rode my first organized ride and wore jersey for the first time and I wore a jersey at another organized ride the following week. I told myself when I ride my rode bike I will wear the jersey and when using my hybrid tee shirts would be just fine. Today, I went for a 30 mile ride on the MUP and put the jersey on. Those 3 pockets in the back of the jersey are just to convenient to ignore.
