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.

My stepson is a Racer (Cat 1, nationally ranked) and is the nicest guy you
could ever hope to meet. Wearing Lycra hasn't made him snooty or anti-UnRacer.

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,
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
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

man, it's been too nasty to cycle here for two weeks - what a bummer - not
used to that. When my buddy and I came in two weeks ago, we both happened
to be in baggy knickers and I told his wife we were both trying out for the
Men in Knickers Calendar.

That's a lot of invective from someone wearing a flourescent polyester
sack!

I find it best to remember that each of us is an Experiment of One. So,
whatever works best for you. And don't judge others.

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
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. I've had them tell me, Latch on if you want -- to which I have
wisely replied, I couldn't keep up for long.

Sambas, musa knickers, norwegian wool undies. I went hoity toity up top
