cycling shoes, athletic socks, a worn out pair of cycling shorts, gloves, sweat band, any kind of t-shirt
And a walk man.

It certainly beats watching TV on a couch.

Can't believe this is still running. Hip didn't you ask this last year?? 
For the record I wear bibs (because that's what I own), base layer, cycling socks, and gloves. If I owned shorts I would skip the base layer and go topless....

Don't have my trainer yet since the weather is still decent (cloudy and warm, or sunny and cold), but when I do: cycling shorts, tennis shoes, regular socks, half-gloves, IPod, and HRM. Anything else and I should be ridin' outside.

Bibs (same ones I use on the road)
T-shirt
Cycling socks
Cycling shoes
No gloves (drape a towel over handle bars which I can also use to wipe away sweat as I ride)
Also use sweat net to keep sweat off floor.
