When is the last time you checked your cycling clothing?

Have a box full of jerseys relegated from being normally used as I fond three rear pockets plus a zipped one pretty essential.

I checked my cycling Y fronts for skidmarks in 2019.

You’ve bought a back brake since then, yes?

I noticed that a mate of mine's shorts were so worn that they were transparent.

I bought a pair of white swimming trunks once, they went completely transparent when wet. Fortunately I checked them in the shower before I took them to the pool.

I did just that today as I had to re-arrange my wardrobe and was surprised to see that I have 14 short sleeves jerseys and only 3 long sleeves. It just shows I don't cycle so much in winter.

How many of the short sleeve are event jerseys?

Just checked an old and sentimental "trade" cycling jacket, passed down from my dad, over 30 years ago.
Alas, the zip had corroded and I could not pull it up.

So, dilema whether to get the zip replaced or just to accept that it's come to it's end of life.
Or just leave it hanging in the garage for my kids to sort out, hopefully in many years time.

I've got a "Ride London" jersey in my drawer, never been worn.
I entered one of the earlier editions and paid my entrance fee (£45?), but did not get a place. Instead, they sent me a jersey.
I just can't wear it , knowing I didn't actually ride it and would be embarased should anybody ask me what the ride was like.

Did you have to snap them in half to get them in the washing machine? 😂

A quick tap with a ballpeen hammer is usually enough.

You need to explain the jersey isn’t for riding the event. It’s just something you get for applying.

Cycle... clothing?

What is this strange concept?

If we forgot your swimming trunks at school we had to swim in white nylon gym shorts.
They went transparent, so you never forgot them more than once.

I don't have any cycle clothing with checks on

Solve the problem. Move to Brighton.

Not often enough for some cyclists who feel the need to exhibit their bumcrack through their ancient thin shorts (although le col ones seem to come like this as standard or perish v quickly)

I totally agree with this. I wear Gore mtb shorts over my bib shorts. I am 66 years old. 😁

I saw a guy in see through shorts cycling up a hill once. It effected me so much that I promised myself that I would never be that man.

I have the same, back from the days when RL was hard to enter. I also didn't get a place.

I have no shame. I wore mine and still wear it. It's one of my 3 nice winter jerseys. (The other 2 are Aldi specials)
