Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

short sleeves, use arm warmers and easy to take off when temp becomes warm later in the ride. could be 50s when i head out in the AM and high 70s by the time i finish.

depends if it's on sale.

I have a few of SS ones that I picked up cheaply that I wear regularly now that the temps have dropped (base layer, SS jersey and arm warmers). I wear a no-sleeve BL under my jersey in the summer.

I'm not really sure what arm warmers have to do with no sleeves vs. short sleeves as a base layer.

Sleeveless. I wear my summer base layer(s) year round. I have gotten to were I can't stand to ride without one, even on the trainer.

Depends. Do you care if you get road rash on your shoulders?

Hmmm. I read the original post as long vs no sleeves. I don't like short sleeve base layers. I think they would bunch up with or without arm warmers.

Depends on the temperature.

Sometimes I'll wear short sleeve base layer with a long sleeve jersey. Makes the chest a little warmer. When it's getting pretty cold, I'll wear long sleeve base layer under a long sleeve jersey.

Short sleeve. Helps save shoulder in a crash.

Correct.

Unfortunately this information is above your BF Security Clearance, if not your pathetic pay grade.
