How many cycling jersey/shorts do you have?
- Thread starter theedge
- Start date
I have four shirts, one pair of pants and two bibs. The bibs are the best aspecially if you have a bit of a tummy. The brces holds the whole thing up well. Only hassle is to go to toilet. You virtually have to undress usally in the small confines of prtable toilets at cycling races!!!!

Three jerseys and three pairs of shorts for me.
That way, I can use a fresh pair each ride (one's being used while the other's in the process of being washed), and the third is there as a spare just in case I'm slack with the clothes washing, or plan to ride 2-3 days in a row..

5 pairs of shorts, 2 pair of tights (one lightweight and one with windproof fronts)...no jerseys yet because I can't find any in my size.
I have so many shorts because I'm a commuter and hate climbing back into shorts in the evening that are still clammy from the morning commute. Basically, I go through 2 pairs of shorts a day.

have 3 jerseys, two pair shorts, two tights, two shoes. i learned on one rainy 2 day tour, it's nice to have two of everything. when the 1st day began it was warm. i alost left my jacket and tights in the car. they weren't calling for rain. by 1/4 mark was raining and temps were falling fast. woke up to frost and icy fog in am. nothing worse than shoes and jacket that hadnt dried overnight. now i have two of everything...
Bottoms: 6 pairs of cycling shorts, 1 set of bibs, and 2 pairs of tights that're OK as long as the rides aren't tooooo long.
Tops: 2 proper cycling jerseys, 10 (at least; probably more) assorted other sports tops that I prefer.
Damned if I'm going to do laundry during the week.

ummmm, i don't have a cycling outfit, i just wear a white t'shirt usally, and cargo shorts... is that a bad thing?
Thankyou! A voice of reason! If you aren't in a race there is NO excuse for wearing obnoxious spandex (or any other material for that matter) bike shorts in public. I could never wear bike shorts, and I don't want to have to look at anyone else wearing them either!
I wonder how many auto accidents have been caused by motorists either staring at a cyclist's shorts or desperately trying to avert their eyes.... hmm... driving with eyes closed is probably not a good idea.
Comfort is a pretty good excuse, in my opinion. My posterior isn't tough enough to ride more than a couple of hours absolute maximum in ordinary shorts. I've tried. It's a good way to learn how to levitate, but not much else.
I would hope most people no longer harbour such Victorian attitudes. (Out of interest, do you ever go to swimming pools or the beach? With your eyes open?)
If you don't like 'em, fine. I don't set out to be obnoxious (clothing-wise, at least) and I wouldn't wear cycling gear (or my other exercise gear, which is a lot less "decent" than the cycling stuff) in places that are totally unrelated to exercising, such as shopping centres. I wouldn't wear it in public at all in countries where the majority of society would consider it offensive.
But in Australia, on the road, around public parkland and in other recreation areas I wear what suits my activities. I'm not going to endure more discomfort than necessary to avoid upsetting the sensibilities of a small minority.
easily 10 shorts, 5 bibs, 15 or SS jerseys, 3 long, 2 wool jerseys and about 5 or 6 pairs of arm warmers, knee warmers, leg warmers. Never enough if you ride every day and race weekends. Most of my stuff is race kits that I get cheap so I build up a steady collection over the years.
Lets see.......... 5 lycra shorts, 7 jerseys, 3 pair of socks, 2 pair of winter weight tights and 1 pair of booties. That's about as good as it gets for me!.
