When you buy your bike , no one forces you to buy additonal gear. Wear whatever it is that keeps you going and grow into your new sport. The sport grows on you as you adopt to it. I just suggest be open minded as to what others have to say makes cycling comfortable . Or else your stubborness might prematurely stunt your cycling growth. I predict however, w/o graduating to what cyclist tell you makes cycling more comfortable; you will never be able to tolerate long distance cycling or racing- should that interest you. Your arse will be too sore.
