Padded mountain bike shorts or any ol' shorts, t-shirt or lightweight fleece and Scarpa Mystic Lite shoes. Never owned a bike-dedicated shirt (even when I used to race). I own a 15-year old pair of Pearl Izumi shorts but they almost look new from lack of use. The mountain bike clipless shoes look pretty clean as well since I switched to Grip Kings and Thin Gripsters. Still thinking about buying some of those Redwing Chukkas Chris talks about. I found a pair of black irregulars for $50 and I can attest that Chris spot on. They are great shoes. However, my black "Postman" shoes look pretty dorky with shorts. I'll need the full mailman regalia to pull that off!
Guess I've bought into Riv-style hook, line and sinker!
