Is this how it begins?

It will NEVER end, it only gets worse, I hate to tell you. 3 jerseys, a pair of padded knickers, a pair of bibs, socks, shoes, sunglasses, now I need a new helmet.....it NEVER ENDS!!!

You know you've arrived when you start moving your "regular" clothes out of your bureau and into plastic bins in the closet and filling your bureau with biking clothes instead.
And when you have one large bureau drawer just for various black lycra bottoms, and it's overflowing.
Oh, and when you start buying the giant bottles of Woolite more often than regular laundry detergent.

Yes!!!!!

Muahahahahaha!

They've got you now

I confess. This winter I purchased another chest of drawers, five drawers in total, for nothing but bike clothing. Plus I have a fancy painted stand sitting in the bedroom to hang the clothes on to dry. Plus I have a wicker hamper in which I put the winter bike clothes so as to make room in the drawers for the new spring purchases, and I am secretly hoping that consistent long-distance cycling this summer will make none of those winter clothes fit when the cold months arrive again.

The bottom drawer holds the jerseys that fit just a bit too snug and I keep them, thinking that by the end of the summer the jerseys will fit, that maybe the biking will burn some of the fat around my bust area and shrink me a few inches. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

this doesn't bode well for my unemployed butt. I want a shortsleeve jersey but can I really justify it when I have so many t shirts and tank tops?

[short cut sally]

biking clothes originally resided in a drawer. they now reside on a large shelf, all assorted by tights, shorts, long and short sleeve jerseys, jackets hang on their own. once you find a great fitting jersey, you cant have just one, you gotta get it in as many colors as that style comes in..thats my motto. Oh, and a handled bag full of earwarmers, arm warmers, neck gators, assorted gloves and shoe covers, all smaller items that are for surely to come up missing easily.
