[RBW] Street Clothes, Spandex or Other Bike Specific Clothing
I ride in Riv's undies, socks, pants (green, blue, brown), sborts (boosuckers, gray/blue, gray), wool tops and lots of Riv shirts. I consider all the pants "bike-specific" despite assertions otherwise. And I don't care anyway. The rest are truly universal. All are great. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] Street Clothes, Spandex or Other Bike Specific Clothing
I un-raced the 40 miler to the office through the east bay hills. Adidas Sambas, musa knickers, norwegian wool undies. I went hoity toity up top with a Rapha brevet jersey over a wool baselayer. All the roadies that I saw smiled and/or waved and/or nodded. That's my main use for bells to give a cheerful "ding" to other riders. Everyone was going the other direction. The one guy going my direction passed me and said "good morning" as he passed. Among the riders going the opposite direction was a VERY tall blue Rambouillet. I only do this ride 20 or 30 times per year, and that guy is on the road absolutely every single time. It's got to be at least a 67 (and seems to do fine with only one top tube) Other roadside highlights included a total of maybe 50 wild turkeys On Friday, March 6, 2015 at 12:04:52 PM UTC-8, Patrick Moore wrote: > > Very odd.

Very odd. Around here, the racers are quite friendly and wave, even initiate the waving ritual, to an old grey haired fogey on a steel fixed gear.

Re: [RBW] Street Clothes, Spandex or Other Bike Specific Clothing
Fo much of my life (I’m 55) my bicycling clothing was whatever I happened to be wearing at the time. “Let’s go for a ride” “OK.” Hop on bikes a go. Blue jeans, tennis shoes, T shirt, whatever. Around 1985 I bought my first pair of cycling shorts (Black Bottoms). I didn’t wear them on every ride, in fact I usually wore rugby shorts. I decided to get into racing bikes around 1992 and bought the clown suit- shorts, club jerseys, etc. I raced until 2000, wearing the clown suit on every ride. After I decided I was tired of training and tired of being away from home for so many hours almost every day, I still rode a fair amount and wore the clown suit. In the past 2-3 years I have gone back to regular clothes for the most part. I still wear cycling shorts but they’re underneath regular shorts or trousers. I usually wear T-shirts instead of jerseys, etc. I have some more cycle-specific cool/cold weather garb that I still use as it works well, but I have some “civilian” stuff that works well too (boiled wool jacket, for example). An interesting thing has happened. Most racers no longer acknowledge me or return my waves; I just get the steely dismissive stare through the sungoggles instead. This doesn’t really seem like a problem, to be honest. Regular people do smile, wave, say hi; car drivers are more courteous. I spend less time getting ready to ride and am out the door quicker. I am every bit as comfortable if not more than when I was wearing bike clothing. When I get home I don’t have to change before hanging out with people. I can meet somewhere by bike for dinner without sticking out like a sore thumb in the restaurant. And, quite frankly, no one wants to look at a 55 year old dude in lycra- and maybe not even back in my svelte, athletic, muscly racing days. I still have all my old club jerseys for sentimental reasons, I had a team full of people I really liked, but I rarely wear them any more. There aren’t any down sides.

I went out last night with temps hovering around freezing and rode 24 miles. Wearing: top: Sugoi balaclava Smartwool baselayer Woolistic XXL long sleeve jersey Gore cycling-specific shell RUSA EN-1150 cycling vest (impedes wind to torso) bottom: Pearl Izumi cycling shorts Louis Garneau cold weather tights Wool socks of some sort that I bought in Germany when we went for Christmas in 2010 (highly recommended btw, the trip not the socks. Well ok the socks are good too) Normal athletic shoes - some sort of Avia I bought at wally world.

Re: [RBW] Street Clothes, Spandex or Other Bike Specific Clothing
I argue that cycling specific clothing is very comfortable and convenient, but that cycling specific need not include spandex. For me, the features include seams that don't chafe, wicking for tops, odor resistance, and trim fit where possible; high waists in bottoms -- I *hate hate hate* bottoms that ride down in back; and pockets, tops and bottoms! In fact, bike comfort depends IME as much or more on bike setup as on clothing and for my type of riding -- 30 miles is long -- I don't need crotchal padding. Gloves only for cold, too. In winter I wear synthetic tights or synthetic or wool knickers with wool socks, and wool tops with synthetic vests; in summer I wear any comfortably loose short with relatively long legs and high waist, and alas rayon shirts because I can't find summer-comfortable jerseys that don't stink. But I really miss a trim fit and pockets. Hats, wool with ear covers in winter, cotton in summer: for the brims and as sweat reservoirs. I largely gave up synthetic tops 10 or 12 years ago; wool is far more comfortable, odor free, and temperature-adaptable, IME. SPD or Look shoes -- they will pry my cold dead feet out of my clipless pedals.

[RBW] Street Clothes, Spandex or Other Bike Specific Clothing
I was just reading an issue of Adventure Cycling and noticed that nearly all riders pictured were wearing spandex shorts and a typical racing bike shirt. Grant always argues bike-specific clothing is unnecessary. I'm wondering what others have adopted as their cycling outfits. Around town, commuting and on short hauls I wear baggy bike-specific shorts most often with a liner and a regular, often cotton shirt. For longer rides out of town, I'll don spandex shorts. I have fairly large thighs and the spandex really helps avoid the chaffing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
