Do you wear cycling specific clothing?
Do you wear cycling specific clothing (excluding shoes, gloves and helmet) regularly for rides?
|
I find my cycling-specific clothing to be the most comfortable type of clothing for riding. I just have to remember that like gravity, the "strengths" decreases as an inverse square of the distance I am from my bike.
|
Always.
I tried commuting in jeans during the winter but found it to be uncomfortable. On my weekend rides I always wear bibs and a jersey - NO T-shirts. |
You bet, I use to use cotton tees but that's archaic when you consider sweat sticking to it. Today's cycling clothes is way more comfortable so it make sense.
|
Just started wearing cycling clothes...big difference!
|
of course. As an under 1 year newb, I learned last weekend the wisdom of short sleeves, as popular as the 'tank' styles are for women. Ouch. But then, a great excuse to buy a couple of new jerseys! Pearl Izumi outlet about 20 minutes away. Got 2005 sample jerseys at about 30% off...
|
Yes, both for my commute and my weekend rides. I've been riding in biking clothes for over 25 years. I wouldn't consider dressing for a bike ride any other way.
|
I cannot ride a bike without bike shorts.
|
Yes, of course! My cycling specific clothing is my favorite clothing! :)
|
yeah, I"m fat and out of shape and my ass needs all the help it can get, plus I'm more safely-conscious now, so the padded Sugoi shorts and bright yellow jersey (and helmet!) are what I'm riding in these days.
And face it, jersey pockets are handy! |
I would have to say no.
When I ride to school it's a short commute(<15mi) and I really don't want have to change clothes every morning. |
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Shorter, non-"workout" rides (errands, taking the kids for a quick spin in the trailer, etc.): no. Longer or more "serious" rides: almost always. I find cycling jerseys (the kind with pockets in the back, but not the kind with crazy-ass logos and whatnot) and bib tights are the most comfortable. I would not want to be wearing jeans and a T-shirt for a 50-mile ride! HOWEVER: when I dismount the bike, I find the tights to be extremely uncomfortable, so they come off shortly after the ride ceases.

Where can you get that Oscar the Grouch jersey?
I want one. |

Oscar The Grouch rules!!!!
I think at certain times fashions were influenced by cycling, "knickerbockers" are ideally suiting to cycling, and I remember the trousers with very small-diameter cuffs in the 1980s, capris may have been influenced by cycling, or simply a high tide, not sure. When gas is $5 a gallon I expect to see a lot of everyday fashions that just happen to be good for bike riding. |
I am so getting that.
All the riders around here in their team kit and with their serious expressions are just begging to be passed by someone wearing one of those:D |

I saw a place that did custom jerseys, but they probably weren't high quality, and they cost a lot...
|
I ride in full gear when I race BMX, and bike shorts and a jersey on the MTB. I like the plain jerseys, like a solid color Fox, and I troll ebay looking for Rock Shox Garb. Their retro "Bowling Shirt" styling appeals to me. After a 4 hour ride today, I mowed the lawn in baggy MTB shorts and a short sleeve jersey. Dork pride at its best.
|
I ride bike specific cloths on every ride. Some ask why. Because I can. However I do not wear replicas of team kits. I keep it simple, visible and comfortable. Functionality is more important to me that looks. I do like Oscar The Grouch though :)

Yep. I don't feel comfortable in anything else but cycling clothes when I'm riing.

Has to be cycle specific... and actually for me now unless on the trainer bibs...
Of course I race and it is 90 percent of the time team kit... |
I just wear regular store bought capris or knickerbokers, and a regular shirt. I don't want to look like a super-fit bicycle rider if I happen to stop for coffee. If it's cold, I wear bike shorts under the capris to prevent a chilly breeze!
