Bikes: 1999 Kona Nunu, 2007 KHS Alite 3000

Tightie lycras I've had for 10+ years, thin socks, and some cheapo Cool-Max knockoff shirt of some sort, usually long sleeved, sometimes a wifebeater.

Fingerless gloves. Camelback.

I wash my gear after every romp in the shower, hang to dry.

Is that a dress kilt or a Utilikilt?

Me (unless it's a foo-foo XC ride): Torsten Hallman Desert Pants, T-shirt with sweatshirt sleeves sewn on, lineman boots and Bell Moto III.

Bikes: Mongoose Blackcomb... It's crap :D

socks, bullhead boot cut jeans, semi tight t-shirt(less wind resistance), mtb helmet, converse loose fit suede sneakers...

Pretty much everyday stuff, not into the lycra/spandex deal and MX pants make me too hot.

If the occasion strikes me, I will put on my old BMX racing clothes. Fox dark blue race shirt/chest protector combo and fox racing shorts.

Shimano m150 shoes, coolmax or C9 socks, Canari Matrix lycra shorts,LG ergoair carbon gloves, champion C9 shirt. its much better at wicking moisture than coolmax. for winter riding , more layers of basically the same except gloves have full fingers, shorts are long tights and long sleeves instead of short .if extremly cold a headgator and shoe covers as well as above mentioned

Usually shorts, t-shirt, and shoes. A small backpack with water if I'm on a long ride.

I've got a pair of riding gloves that I use for ATV's, think I'm gonna give those a shot.

Crotchless panties and a lightsaber. Ok, ok, nipple tassles and a diamond studded thong.

Actually it depends on where I am riding. If it is road or light trails usually shorts and a t-shirt. If I am headed for a heavily wooded area usually jeans and a t-shirt. I don't have all the fancy riding gear but I get by.

Be wary of those who ride blue bikes.

Which season?


Spring - as little as possible with the bike jacket at hand.
Summer - as little as possible.
Fall - as little as possible, with a heavier bike jacket at hand (and tights)
Fall - my new jacket, pants, tights, gloves etc - I'm wind/rain resistant from head to toe.

Oh, pardone moi, nearly forgot - I wear BIKE GLOVES.

Bring it on.
