I wear whatever I'd wear if I were driving. Typically jeans and oxford shirt. Maybe a sweater or sport jacket when it's cooler and heavier jackets during winter. Whether I'll be riding or driving doesn't affect what I wear except maybe a heavier coat if I'm riding. This is fine up to about 90f. Above 90f I sweat a bit more.
For fitness/training rides I typically wear lycra shorts and a team jersey. If I fall I'll get scraped up. See first paragraph.
For WNBR my girlfriend and I wear matching paint. Again, see first paragraph.
Don't over complicate it.
Sometimes the wisest answer is also the least painful.
There are some who validate their opinions by stating they have crashed countless times........Now why would anybody trust
them for good advice?
