I'm not Emily Post, but I don't think you'll run into any etiquette problems wearing your sports bra & cycling shorts. However, please keep in mind that cycling on the road is different than cycling in your spinning class. For one thing, when you cycle on the road, you will not feel as sweaty because as you move through the air, the sweat will evaporate. Also, you're out in the elements, so you will be exposed to the sun.
Yeah, I had thought about the exposure to the sun. Regardless of what I end up doing (with or without shirt over sports bra), I will definitely be wearing lots of sunscreen. Thanks for the advice about the sweat evaporating. I hadn't even thought about it when I posted.
An added benefit of a cycling jersey is you usually have pockets in the back to store things. If you store a route sheet or anything made of paper in the back pocket, put it in a plastic baggy, or you'll have a very soggy piece of paper by the middle of your ride. (Ask me how I know!)
That's good advice! Thanks. Should I bite? How do you know?
It sounds like your sister is looking a the baggy mountain bike shorts. Here's a link to the mountain biking shorts offered by the Team Estrogen site:
