It was my birthday this weekend and got some cycling gear. I'm now the proud owner of a pair of bike shoes and bike shorts. I wore them to work this morning. They performed beautifully. I pedaled more effeciently and the stuff that can get squished didn't. So all in all a more comfortable ride. I'm sure some of my enthusiasm is just having new stuff.
I'm self conscious so I've got long shorts over my bike shorts. I may ditch them....the 2 pair of shorts trapped a lot of heat inbetween them. Although I have the shoes, the pedals and clips are on my list.
I've been pretty resistant to bike cloths but I'm finding they do have their purpose. It all started with a neon jacket, then I need tights 'cause jeans are not warm and the sems are too rough, then a bike jersey because it was UV rated (I've been getting quite tan under my shirts) and now the shorts and shoes. I may have to get a bike to match my shorts or my jersey as my current bike really just does not match now
