isitafox Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Combat shorts with button pockets and a vest do it for me, still sweat like a cornered virgin though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Tarty shorts have zips But nah, most of the time I wear cut-off jeans if it's too warm. They were a really weird shape and weren't that nice as 'full' jeans, but I just hacked the shit out of the legs and now they're awesome.

Dwarf Shortage Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Went out today in jeans, a t shirt and a chequered shirt. I nearly collapsed when I got in, I was sweating like a gypsy in a tax office. Definitely getting the shorts and tee out next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Gibson Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Shorts everytime for me, even its its cold and wet, just wrap up in a hoody. HATE ridin in pants, can ride for about 30mins in trackies before I'm ringing with sweat! LOL! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely getting the shorts and tee out next time Haha, that's the main reason why I never wear jeans when biking. Also because when I first started trials biking I kept getting my jeans caught in the chain. I usually bike on the dock with my friend, and it becomes extremely windy after about 10 PM, so if we're out late I just put a hoodie in my bag or something.

Captain Scarlet Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Just cargo shorts with the pockets that are near the knee, carry my phone, wallet and keys. However now I don't like riding with anything in my pockets (stuff has fallen out on the odd occurance and they flap around and hit my legs) so I just leave it all in a bag.

aener Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Shorts and a shirt. No-one ever rings me, so I don't take my phone. My bike barely goes wrong at the minute, so I don't need tools. All I take are my keys, and that's just the two (car and house) on a ring, and I just have that in m'pocket. On rides further from home, I take a bag, but always keep it right by me. Never had it robbed, but am VERY untrusting of townsfolk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) I wear swimming shorts (The more garish the better ) and a T-Shirt unless it's freezing outside, in which case I'll put a hoodie on. I do find that to give my legs free movement for tucking I have to go a size or two bigger than my waist size, but the drawstring sorts out the difference ... I usually carry keys and a phone with me and a set of bluetooth headphones to play music from the phone if I'm out on my own. I bring water in the car and park somewhere around the centre of the area I go riding in so it's reasonably handy. I never wear jeans at all because they're too hot even in winter. But then again I sweat like a pedophile in a Barney suit once I get going... Edited July 12, 2010 by psycholist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew_coggan Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I wear just normal shorts and a normal top + fingerless gloves and my helmet. Dont wear a shirt I always rip mine under the armpit. Or I sometimes go topless when i get realy hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Dunstan Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Tarty shorts have zips But nah, most of the time I wear cut-off jeans if it's too warm. They were a really weird shape and weren't that nice as 'full' jeans, but I just hacked the shit out of the legs and now they're awesome. Hacking up jeans is the way forward. I buy a few pairs of jeans in the winter, than cut them all down in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Quite like polo shirts because they don't seem to get soaked in sweat as much, I ride on my own mostly so constantly riding so end up sweating loads. Also there's some good similies in this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwarf Shortage Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 My jeans are pretty skinny* so I haven't had them caught in anything, so the only bad point is muscle restriction - provided it's a pretty cool day. I took out my allen key tool thing today in my shorts pocket, and it just smashed into my shins the entire time I was riding, and if I use a bag it flies over my shoulders every time I back hop/stoppie/move. Someone should invent a decent pair of riding shorts. * *Dodges barrage of "scenefag" insults* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
