Anywho, being relatively new to the sport, and only experiencing summer cycling so far, I have found that ridiculously tight, very lightweight clothing to work best. Obviously, any type of road bike shorts are going to be tight, but the jerseys that are marketed as being aerodynamic seem to be the best for me. My favorite clothing so far has been Castelli bibs, jerseys, and the San Remo speedsuit. I prefer the speedsuit over everything else just because it is so simple, well put together, and about as form fitting as a piece of clothing can get.

I've blown all of my money on a new bike frame and an excessive amount of upgrades and clothing, so I won't be able to afford winter clothing for quite a while. Probably gonna sit inside on the rollers this time around.
