    Sports bra. I do not want to sweat that much in a regular bra. And I do tend to unzip the jersey all the way when I get hot.

    When it's really hot I wear a cycling tank with a built-in shelf bra.

    For cooler temps, I would like like a wool camisole with a shelf bra, and/or a wool sports bra.

    This is couched with the fact that I last did my road biking in hot country...
    I wore a sports bra, and specifically looked for those that wicked really well (NO cotton).

    Now that I'm in cooler climes, I'm not certain if I'll be as picky, but I do have several sports bras in the drawer.

    My wool Ibex bra is comfortable in hot weather. It's actually really light. Granted, I'm small chested and need little support, but I almost don't know I'm wearing it. I can wear it multiple times between washings, too, which is nice on trips when I don't want to bring a bra for every day.

    Count me in the sports bra camp, along with a sleeveless ultralight base layer if I'm wearing bib shorts (makes nature calls easier).

    I wish that I COULD depend on shelf bras in my jerseys...but there is too much of me. I bounce enough as it is I also have armor-piercing nipples and while I am sure that no one would be surprised to see that I do have nipples, I don't like them to be so prominent.

    I would love to try a wool sports bra at some point, but just can't afford it at this time. I've two cotton sports bras that are now a little large for me since I lost my weight, but they are much better than a regular bra. I am hoping to get one this summer sometime though so I can try it out
