...on what I'm doing. My road bike stays with me in Western Mass, I've been known to wear 'street clothes' when riding this bike even though it screams for cycling wear. I've gotten some odd looks from other roadies when I'm dressed like this, but, oh well...I'm usually off running errands and have my messenger bag strapped to my back. No need for the padded shorts underneath with the brooks saddle.

I do like jerseys b/c of the back pockets and on long rides and do wear the padded shorts. I usually wear the cycling clothes when I'm going over 20 miles and am not running errands.


my beater bike: just my street clothes. this bike has a rack on the back and panniers for grocery shopping.

I do own a searsucker shirt...it is great in the summer--gives me sun protection and keeps me cool. billows a lot when it is windy, though.
