I was 12 or13 and wore this dress to many Bar Mitzvah parties. So, I don't mind bright pink and will wear it to accessorize. I have one Sheila Moon jersey with a very interesting bold geometric pattern of pink, red, and black. It's a bit heavier than my other cycling jerseys, so I am coming up to the time of year when I'll be wearing it. It matches perfectly with my red Kuota.I really don't care about the color of my bikes, and that was an incidental part of finding a bike that fit me! Really, I happen to like the plain carbon colored grey I had on my Trek 5200 a few years ago. I do tend to wear jerseys that match the bike I am riding, so I have jerseys in themes of red or blue, and a red and blue helmet.
However, in real life, I mostly wear black, white, and gray, with some bright colors thrown in on the top once in awhile.
Oh, lucky you. I wish I didn't care about the color of my bikes. It would make shopping a whole lot easier! I like my neutral black bike - it's sharp, and I can wear any color jersey with it. But I like fun colors, too (without being garish, I hope) and right now I'm trying to decide what color Bike Friday to get. Neutral, fun, refined, loud, quiet. So many choices.

But back to pink. I don't really wear pastels. I was thinking more along the lines of fuchsia, or some hi-vis pink for cycling. And my pink socks with cupcakes on them
