    Dang! I thought it was going to ask me whether the occasion was casual or formal!

    Somebody needs to do that for cycling wear.
    "How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."
    David Desautels, in a letter to velonews.com

    Random babblings and some stuff to look at.

    Not too far off, actually. I picked that I like to feel cold (actually I like to be warm, but I usually have to adjust what everyone else suggests because I seem to have more tolerance/easier adaptation to cold weather) and the temp was 40, and it said long sleeved shirt, vest, shorts, gloves. I don't wear gloves, but I do wear a long sleeved shirt and a racerback base layer top that's fleece lined. Gloves would be too much after about 1 mile.

    Definitely bookmarking this one. At least it's a good place to start.

    Ah, I saw this the other day and couldn't find it again. Thank you! Now I can stop neurotically tracking temp/what I'm wearing!

    I bookmarked it. I have a real problem with what to wear running. I don't like feeling cool at all and end up feeling hot and sweaty because I seem to overdress, even when I don't think I am. This morning I wore a regular LS wicking shirt with just a mid weight jacket, thin wool gloves and a headband, and tights. It was 35 degrees and still dark out. My problem is I am running down hill for the beginning and back up at the end. I sweat very easily.
    Deciding what to wear for cycling is not so hard.
