What to wear??

I always hit up the consignment and thrift stores in my area and look at their "athletic" racks - both men's and women's. I have gotten some nice Under Armor, Nike, Athleta, Louis Garneau, and Mountain Hardware tops for under ten bucks - often they don't know what they have. A wicking t to layer under a lightweight nylon jacket (high vis IS nice) for Spring and Fall, and add a wool sweater in winter. For summer I eventually broke down and bought jerseys with pockets because of the convenience - but always at discount through Performance or Sierra Trading. Bargains can be had.

I agree with up - GLOVES are really important. I wear regular bobby socks with my shoes, and cycling shorts (bought new except one used pair bought here.)

I wear inexpensive wicking t-shirts from Target and a lightweight high-vis construction vest when I am on the road with cars.

It is no wonder that none of the young riders in kits will even acknowledge me let alone be friendly as we pass each other on the roads.
