Cycling clothes ?

[silverclaws]

Cycling clobber, does your choice of on the bike wear reflect the bike you ride ?

 

[Raging_Bulls]

Yes and no.

I'll ride all my bikes with normal clothing when commuting or popping to the shops.

However when I properly go riding, the bike and clothing have to fit eachother. You just can't wear Retrobike clothing when you ride a 2011 bike.
Similarly, when I wear a jersey that says "WARNING : I have disc brakes and know how to use them" on the back, there's no way I'll ride a bike that uses cantilevers.

I'll wear a helmet if i go off road........

 

[Russell]

yes.

 

[Bess]

Not really.
I usually buy bikes with similar characteristics, so there`s no need to change any clothes

Yep, roadbike and non retro mountainbike is tight pants and shirt, retrobike is baggy shorts.

I find it difficult to ride a road bike without clothes as people complain.
The mtb allows me to stick to the wagonways and tow paths, much more comfortable.

i have started to wear less cycling clothes and more hiking/running gear for rides.

im tough to get a good fit so i have started wearing more combat type trousers rather than lycra or similar, and i love berghaus and HH running tops.

round the doors or on my local 1hr rides i wear anything, trackies, hoodies etc.

i wear baggy altura shorts with padded insert and a t shirt if its nice.

if its foul i put a fleece or waterproof top on. the bike soesnt affect what i wear

If I am on retro it is baggies over Lycra.
If it's new(er) then it's Lycra over baggies.
