Wearing jewellery while cycling

[alpinerabbit]

for tris, bike marathons etc. I wear a pentagram. other than that nothing. Except if I forget to take it off.


Edit. I don't wear nothing but the pentagram. I mean no jewelry during training. LOL.

I'm pretty plain-jane when it comes to jewellery. All I wear on my bike are a watch, my wedding bands, and a silver rope necklace with a Maori greenstone pendant which is supposed to bring the wearer strength. I need all of that I can get. I probably shouldn't wear it cycling, but it was given to me by a dear friend and I just can't seem to take it off.
I have a few flash pieces I can wear when I have to do the formal thing, which fortunately isn't very often. My only real concession to jewellery is my watch collection, which is kinda out of control at this point.

I'll wear my wedding band and maybe a pair of stud earrings. A necklace or bracelet would bother me, I think.

Daily I wear my wedding band, engagement ring, watch, and just started wearing mom's ring and necklace. For riding, I only wear my wedding band. When I first got engaged I would wear full finger gloves with my ring on, but it was a bit uncomfortable and just not worth the risk.

Riding, I wear my wedding ring, a rope bracelet that has only been off my arm a handful of times (to much of a pain to take off and put back on), and sometimes my necklace.

School days, I limit my jewelry because I go to school in a less than desireable area. Watch, wedding ring, necklace, bracelet.

Work and church days, in addition to the school day jewelry, I have a ring for the other hand and earrings.

All of my jewelry was given to me by DH with the exeception of my necklace. It was the first piece of jewelry that I bought for myself after high school. The pendent on it is a half of a quarter that at one time DH had the other half, my daughter now has that half.

I wear my wedding rings. A simple handmade sterling silver band and a really neat set moonstone ring we got in Sydney Austrelia. I wear earings sometimes. And I also wear a lot of handmade necklaces.

Daily I wear my wedding ring and engagement ring, but do not riding. My wedding band is small with channel set diamonds and would fit fine, but my hand swells uncomfortably. My engagement ring wouldn't fit comfortably under gloves. The other ring I wear daily is my college ring but again swelling and bulk make it uncomfortable cycling. I wear all three running if I have them on, but usually leave them home. Salt build up from sweating is just icky on my jewelry!

On the bike I wear a small teardrop pendant my husband gave me, tiny diamond studs and tiny silver hoops. I only take any of those off to clean them, or to wear fancier earrings. And I cycle in a Timex Ironman watch.

I wear a fair amount (not Mr. T or anything) of jewelry off the bike, but before a ride it all comes off except for the diamond studs in my second earpiercings (these never come out). I don't like the feel of rings or bracelets in my gloves or earrings rubbing/catching on helment straps. I don't guess a necklace would bother me, but since everything else is coming off -- it does too!
