When I am out on a ride longer than say 25 miles I will sometimes wear my one pair of cycling shorts but......I also have been known to ride in plain cotton undies (boxers) and Riv MUSA shorts now that I have the Riv blue suspenders. I have both short and long sleeve wool shirts and also have Riv MUSA pants for colder days. I also have the wool 'tights' that I use under my rain paints when its really crummy out. Showers Pass touring jacket.....Sunny days, just a cotton t-shirt or a long sleeve cotton button up with chest pockets for my phone etc. Shoes, New Balance outdoors-man sport shoe (not sure what model) but they are brown suede. I've always wanted to ride the STP.....and if I do, it would probably be my other brand touring bike or my new Rivendell Sam Hillborne with a change to drop bars. Might consider riding the SimpleOne someday with a gearing change and if the weather were ideal and I was in better shape for it. I'm liking the long tail cotton long sleeve shirt (seersucker if you can) for riding the more I use them. I also use my Teva sandals in the summer for riding. Heat/cold management is pretty important so layering and a good bag/rack combo is really nice to have.
