Well, it's a little too cold for just a helmet.

She said gloves and shoes too. That's one approach to avoiding the dreaded biker tans!

I refuse to wear advertising (which is most jerseys) and I don't wear fluroescent colours unless I'm in low light or at night - kind of limiting when it comes to clothes.
My bike is blue, silver and black so I tend to keep to black knicks and my other gear either blue, grey, white or pink. I like to match or co-ordinate.
Actually just 30 mins ago bought some new Pearl Izumi shoes in blue!
Most cyclists I see around either dress to match the bike or dress in an outfit that co-ordinates jersey, knicks, socks, gloves etc but not with the bike.

and some of us revel in flourescent colors, because they are VISIBLE!
if you can match your bike sometime, that's cool. I don't match my bike except when i wear my raincoat (hmm, that's 8 months out of the year)

Nothing matches anything. Heck, even my socks don't match!

Our company wouldn't let us put their logo on our company team. But we could plaster just about every drug we produce. I love being nothing but a walking billboard. OTOH, on big organized rides, it's nice to look like a group. Even if that means wearing a giant ad for Levitra on my back.

Wear whatever colors you like and enjoy the ride. Why worry about whether or not you match, as long as your comfortable?

And I don't mind wearing ads as long as the jersey is from an event I've participated in or from the team my son rides with (insert proud mom grin here).

East Hill I'm afraid I am totally serious!
I figure between the ad and me walking around clad in lycra, we'll succeed yet in getting those suffering from ED up and at 'em!!
