Question I hate to ask...

[ny biker]

Roadtrip, I'm have some photos of me in bike clothes that I would rather were not taken! The cold, hard truth is that clothes are not going to fool anyone. So just keep riding and try not to be self-conscious about it (easier said than done, I know!) Now that it's getting colder, you can wear a jacket or sweater over, so that might help you feel more confident. But really, the best thing to do is keep riding, eat an apple a day, and keep moving forward with your healthy actions. Try to focus on the idea that you are strong and beautiful, and that your body does amazing things by taking you on bike rides that are so much fun even though they are alot of work.

Look for jerseys that are "club cut" which is looser than "racing cut." Other than that, like any other clothes you will find that one manufacturer's clothes will generally fit better than another, and that there is even variation within one company's jerseys. So try on different jerseys to see if you can find some you like better.

But mostly, just have fun and be proud of your accomplishments.

I avoid any jersey labeled as having a race cut. For the most part, I stick to Terry jerseys and those from Shebeest's "S cut " line.

When in doubt, call up the fine people at TE and ask for specific suggestions or feedback on how a given jersey fits. They're happy to help and have road tested many of their product offerings.
