Do I -have- to wear those silly shorts?

This top went from "not sure if I like it that much" (before I wore it) to my all-time favorite. And I have a LOT of cycling tanks. No back pocket, but I don't use those anyway. I have the black, (which doesn't get hot in the sun!!) but seriously covet the red...

I have four of these, and love them too. I can't bear to put on a sports bra _and_ jersey right now- it's just too hot and humid.

I have one of these, and don't like it as much as I thought I would. It covers a lot in the front, and is a lot warmer than the others because of that. But it is comfortable and pretty. The pocket is so long, though, that I have accidentally tucked it into my shorts without knowing it...

I have two of these- very comfy, like them a lot, but they show any tummy bulge you have, if you care.

I have one of these, Cabo Tanks, not a plus, though, and like it a lot, but it doesn't have a bra.

And sleeveless jerseys are nice, too, if you're trying not to show cleavage, or keep bugs out!

I only have one jersey -- I'd love more, but the only ones I've tried so far have been way too tight. I notice most of those looked form-fitting, and I'm the apple-girl who has no waist and form-fitting doesn't work at all. Maybe after I lose some weight....

Any suggestions?

I did order a couple from REI and they are at the local REI waiting for me to pick them up. (Duh -- I'd forgotten that until I typed it -- will go today and check them out.) But I'm not very hopeful about them. Sigh.

Can someone explain to me why the prints in all these biking jerseys look like drug-induced flashbacks of bedspreads from an old Brady Bunch episode??

all the styles always come back around full circle.

i just got my victoria's secret fall preview catalog and i swear everything in that looks like the 80s.

Tell me it's true! I loved the 80s and have anxiously awaited their return.
I'm tired of all the retro 70s stuff. (Can you tell when I was in HS? Am I aging myself?)
Although, I have enjoyed the flare jeans much more than I ever would have cared to admit (I thought I was going to die when I saw they were coming back).

Well, if it means anything, there's a new (at least to me) alternative rock group out called Rock Kills Kid. I saw them on Letterman and then bought their album off iTunes.

They are straight out of the 80s, people. Retro is now 80s, I guess.

I feel so old.

Time to go get my new jerseys so I can feel fat, too!

[SouthernBelle]

I have 2 jerseys that are strappy. One is a racerback, the other is skinnier straps that cross in the back. They both came from REI Outlet where I have had great luck with cycle clothing.

BTW, I'm built straight up and down, no waist. But I don't care.

I often ride my bike to work and in the morning it is cool enough that i just wear my work clothing. Flare jeans are really annoying on a bike even if you have good ankle straps. It's a lot of extra material.

Just got the new Patagonia Panties from UPS. I am THRILLED to have found $120 worth of panties for $40...Going to test them out as "sleeping panties" tonight! (That means no going up the butt by the panties for them to pass that test!)

I hate it when anything touches my belly button ring. I keep my cycling shorts just below it. The one I have right now is a circular barbell, or something, meaning it catches easily on the edges of things.

OK, AK, does this mean you are going to buy flared bike shorts? This I have to see. . .

[Nanci]

To cover up fat rolls. It works very well.

Me in psychodelic Shebeast Tank. As you can see, my waist and hip measurements are virtually the same. Whatever!!!

But try that Cabo tank- it's a looser fit. I love mine.

(Edited to fix spelling- and to add I even like _running_ in the Cabo tank- it's a great material.)

[pooks]

Oh thanks -- that's helpful. I almost ordered that Cabo in the Cantonese, just because I love the mandarin collar! But I need sleeveless right now.

[chickwhorips]

its not the waist part that causes a roll that gets me, its the leg part where it cuts in. specially when i wear leg warmers. my legs seem to look a bit squggly.
