'Fess up:no. of jerseys

[withm]

So many that I would have to go upstairs to count them. Long sleeved. Short sleeved. Base layers. Not to mention a bunch of shorts, knickers, and tights of varying degrees of warmth or windproofing. I have 2 jackets though, one with zip off sleeves - my absolute favorite.

The pathetic part of owning all these all-weather clothes is that none of this has seen any use in 2 months! As soon as I get cleared by my PT to ride, AND I get rid of this cold, AND we get a sunny weekend without wind, and 34o minimum I'll be back in the saddle.

I own a couple moisture wicking active tops by adidas, nike, etc. But I don't own a jersey. I bike mostly in capris or rolled up pants/jeans & chrome shoes to work and a t-shirt with my messenger bag slung across my back. If it is really hot - I wear a moisture wick top and carry and extra shirt in my bag. Maybe a jersey someday.

Let us know when you cave in. I know where you're comin' from, since it took me 10 years of regular cycling before I decided to get my first cycling jersey. However I bought my first cycling jacket within 3 months of returning back to cycling.

In response to Knotted's comments, I need back pockets for keys especially when I am not wearing a cycling jacket in warmer weather. I need to use my key/security fob to activate the underground parking garage door where our condo's bike parking is. To do this, I stop and balance myself on top of bike, on a downward slope driveway to dig around in my back pocket and fish out fob.

So I truly look for jerseys with back pockets and for colder weather, jackets absolutely must have at least front (or back) pocket(s).

I'm guessing I'm a size Large or XL in women's jerseys I wear a size 10 waist(maybe 34-36 above the hip - actual inches) womens. I have 32-34 bust. I am short 5'3''. I know all that stuff is cut different than regular tops. I am curvy, which can be a pain.

No one has to feel obligated to do anything. But thank you for mentioning it Biciclista.

Ahh this is a tough one Perhaps it shows how long I have been riding versus the amount of clothing I own HA!
At any rate here goes:

sleeveless jerseys: 8-9
short sleeve jerseys: 37
long sleeve jerseys: 15-17

Although I can honestly say that I wear my favorites most of the time,and others do not get worn. Does anyone else do this?

I'd be glad to share with you moderncyclism...most of my jerseys are mens and colors that are bright. Let me know if you'd like me to send you one.

[azfiddle]

So ridebikeme... just how many non-cycling tops do you own? (just to put it into perspective

Oh, my. Everyone on here is so nice. ridebikeme thank you (If you think they'd fit. I'm guessing a medium in men's) if you're serious, PM me.

I am almost overwhelmed with your kindness and generosity to other riders. I wish the whole world was like this message board. I did "pay it forward" so to speak today - I gave my stock saddle to a "critical mass" buddy as she loves skinny saddles. Now I know there is a thread for this on these boards which is a cool way to help the greater community.

I have no idea how many cycling jerseys I have. I don't count how many sweaters I have, either. There's no such thing as too many when it comes to clothes.

[ridebikeme]

Well, I dont' know how many non cycling tops I have, but I could defintely say that I own way more fall/winter tops than summer.( I quess because it's the area that I live in) I'm definitely NOT someone who spends tons of money on clothes... when I do buy something, I buy quality and obviously it lasts longer. With that said, I will admit to owning a fair amout of sporting type clothing... How does everyone else stand on this?

[sundial]

I'm guessing I'm a size Large or XL..

I'd like to send you a nice jersey if you'd like. Can I pm you the info?

Just having abit fun with our cycling fetishes. Speaking of fetishes, I heard of one guy who owned and did use his collection of 15+ bike helmets.

True sometimes that too many of 1 apparel type is not terrible..as long as it's worn/used at some point in time.

This thread topic has taken some interesting detours and surprising turns.

[zoom-zoom]

OK, so I already have an ancient short-sleeve jersey and a strappy cycling tank, plus a warm jacket. But you gals are enablers. I just ordered a sleeveless jersey and a long-sleeve one, too. I hope we have an early Spring and I can use the long-sleeved one really soon (wishful thinking here in MI).

So I guess I'm up to 5.

Damn it. And here I was convinced that there was at least ONE person on this forum who could beat me!

I've seen her closet - she has y'all beat!

Second that!
Never too many clothes, never too many shoes
