Bike and Clothing Colours..

[Gaz Vickers]

Having little cycling clobber i don't have much choice! So its a Black Mountain bike, Black cycling shorts or Black & White bib shorts - and a Red Jersey or Jacket, Black gloves and white trainers!

 

[Nigelnaturist]

As usual, consult the rules - esp 14 - 17. Shorts black, jerseys, your choice.

Yea I read them, still dont give two figs. I ride on my own so what's it matter, so long as I am comfortable and at the right temperature for the given conditions. Its like me saying don't ever use on camera flash as it's unforgiving. harsh blows out highlights, o yea I forgot never use them in stadiums as they are useless but people still do.

If i could afford it I'd buy some red pants or yellow ones,makes you more visible.

Cycling around just in your underwear would definitely get you noticed

 

[jonny jeez]

I wear whatever is clean...most of the time anyway, it doesn't always match

Yup. me too

although I do tend to find that I make more of an effort for social rides, trying stuff on that is...before resorting back to whatever is most comfy and suitable.

 

[jonny jeez]

because i can't imagine lycra making any difference at all, does it?

yes

 

[BrianEvesham]

i have a red bike (triban 3) and a white/blue giro monza helmet, and wear cream shorts and whatever t-shirt, because i can't imagine lycra making any difference at all, does it?

I think it makes a difference, but as always, open to persuasion.

I buy whatever is on offer in Aldi / Lidl haha

I only own Lidl kit this time around.

When people ride with me they had better be colour co-ordinated or there would be hell to pay.
Cycling and cycling gear is not a game.
You go out looking good or you don't go out at all.

It wouldn't even occur to me to match my outfit to my bike. Hell, I can barely be bothered to get my underwear to match and nobody ever sees that

Remind me to hide at the back of the group when we meet up with Ian for the old car thing to Brighton next week

And don't even think of riding a dirty bike

I just buy what I like, if it doesn't match, it isn't the end of the world, but I at least try to be remotely colour coordinated in a reasonably subtle way.

MDB, I expect better of you mate.
Pull yourself together and get co-ordinated. Y'hear me?

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

I have an orange top and black pants with yellow and green panels to help me be seen. I never really worry about them matching the bike.

I just cycle around in my pants,people notice me alot

Doesn't cycling in your underwear get a bit cold though guys, never mind the risk of Roadrash etc?

JA MEIN FUHRER!!

Actually, I've been buying red things recently (I have a red helmet, ooh err!) because I now have a red Peugeot, but still, sometimes the understated look is just cooler.
