Matching gear/bike/clothing...

[GLC1968]

Ah...I hadn't thought of the helmet/clothing match...but I have plenty of jerseys that are not blue at all. Good point!

OK, I'm going with the white helmet. Partly because it'll match everything, partly because it'll be the most visible and partly because my LBS already has it in my size where the blue one they'd have to order!

I did purposely manage to worm my way on to the "jersey design committee" for my MS bike tour team. I am hoping that I can push our design in the direction of blues this year!

I've matched gear with my mountain bike (black/purple). I bought the bike because it matched my helmet (which caused the woman at the LBS to go into spasms trying to stifle her laughter.) It's got a purple water cage and my gloves are black & purple.

My road bike is a light shade of blue with white. I don't wear pastel blues, or white for that matter, at all so all of my black/purple stuff is used with that one too.

I highly recommend this jersey on sale, it matches Isis beautifully. In fact, since it has a full front zipper, I use it as a light jacket, perfect for days in the high-40s and 50s. I just wear a light wicking layer underneath, and unzip if it warms up. It also has nice deep back pockets!

Oooh, I like! The blue would go with my Bike Friday and my mountain bike -- but they only have the blue left in XL. Don't think that's going to fit GLC either; she looks pretty small in her avatar.

Ahh, but when I posted it was available in all sizes.......... guess this called too much attention to them!

I don't match anything! I do have one jersey that matches my bike (royal-ish blue) but it's really too small so I'm holding off on wearing it until I have lost some weight.

Oddly enough, my husband is more interested in "matching" than I am!

Bummer....I wasn't on here yesterday so missed your post until tonight. Probably just as well -- it's not like I don't have enough jerseys already...
...but there's always room for one more.

I saw the post in time to see other sizes (no smalls, but I like Mediums in LS jerseys), but I opted against it due to my lack of use of LS jerserys lately. Of course, now it's finally colder again, and I could probably use it!

I saw the same jersey at our local Performance and the color is GREAT!...of course, Performance had it full price still! (Go TE! )

You're talking to the chick who just last week emailed Trek to find out if a particular helmet they make matched my new 07 Trek 6700 WSD!

Most of my stuff is dark blue and so is my bike. HOWEVER, blue just happens to be my favorite color. And I don't always match my clothes when I'm biking. However, DH's stuff is all red, black, and white. It's sort of cute to see someone who could care less about what he wears to work be so interested in matching on the bike. My father in law has a black and yellow bike, and ALL of his other stuff is either black or yellow. He even waited to be able to ride the bike because his special black and yellow helmet had not come in yet. He's a little OCP.

I am exactly the same way. I love bikes that have blue and silver in them, and blue bike clothes as well. So I think I end up color coordinated just by choosing my favorite colors in clothes and bikes!
