> I'm looking for a nice fleece that doesn't look too sporty or bikey.

Saw something that fitted the bill a couple of months ago. Was a
windproof, water resistant top that was fleecy, but not too fleecy (if you
know what I mean). Long sleeves and a small tail at the back made it a
good cut for cycling.

They don't seem to sell it any more, but this looks sort of similar. For
£100 (eeek) I think you'd need to try it on first thobut.

Can do, although it needs to be seriously cold for that.

Not for me, I shiver easily

Plus I came into spinning too late, my knees creak when they get cold.
