I do like "bike-specific" clothing in that it tends to be very bright or fluorescent for the visibility aspect. When I wear low-vis clothing, I always put on a hi-vis vest to be seen more easily by traffic. Stay safe, Toshi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Gr

Funny, I forgot my so-called "riding" clothes on a recent after-work MTB ride... I did have my "after-ride-change-into clothes.. jeans and cotton tee". I wore those on the ride, and I was super comfy... On Monday, October 29, 2012 11:34:42 AM UTC-4, Matthew J wrote: > > > You mean by "full kit

Here in Philly if you have on Lycra, you've got ads on you. A lot for a local shop but many that are obviously just for random brands. -J -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To view this discussion on the web visit https://gr

Forgot to add that I too like team kit, at least jerseys -- Bianchi, Raleigh, Team Wolfe, and Italian National Cycling Team; to go with my PDM, Molteni and BP hats ($5 from Nashbar!). On Mon, Oct 29, 2012 at 8:15 AM, PATRICK MOORE wrote: > Out here in ABQ NM the "ads on ass" look is very common.

Out here in ABQ NM the "ads on ass" look is very common. That may be because team riders are also so common, but whatever the reason, logos a la mode look is everywhere -- or because everyone kits him-or herself out from Colorado Cyclist. OTOH, there are also many recreational riders out with the
