Winter Riding Gear!

Get so much stick of my mates for wearing lycra but it's so comfy.

Nothing wrong with wearing lycra, or skins or whatever for that matter.

But for f**ks sake, wear something over it. THE WORST is shorts over tights. The second worse is a t shirt over a long sleeve lycra top.

Tshirt and two jumpers on today and it was just about right. I've got a marino wool base layer as well for those extra cold evenings. They hold the heat in really well when your going between spots.

I just need to sort out some thinner gloves for between spots and some jeans. Might go all out and get some kevlar ones.

EDIT: oh and either new trainers or waterproof socks!

I suppose its the feeling...

I massively prefer riding in shorts over say, jeans, joggers or trackies.

Winter comes, no longer comfortable in shorts, too cold.

Lycra thermals and shorts for me would be ideal. Able to wear shorts, while remaining warm.

Yeah I get why people wear shorts.

But why put shorts over trousers? Just wear the lycra thermal trousers. Looks weirder / worse with shorts over lycra thermals than just wearing thermals.

exactly.

I can't ride in trousers it feels so horrible, and sick of getting trousers caught in chains and things.

Road riders are as gay as it gets though...

oh aye. I ride road as well as trials, and you can't have bagginess in road riding. trials however, shorts over base layer pants is acceptable. and I'm definetly not gay. my girlfriend would tell you that. or better still, stop being a keyboard warrior and tell me to my face I'm gay. and by the way, I bet you are about 18. I'm 31, and know just a little bit more than you about how things work.

Come to Slovakia in some nice lycra outfit and I will. And no, I´m not 18.I´m not saying they are gay because of what they wear, I´m saying it because road cycling is more boring sport than fckn formula 1. But sure, it´s only my opinion...So ride whatever you want in whatever you like. I´m wearing compressive tights in winter too, but I would feel really uncomfortable if I worn them without shorts over them and people starring at my buttcrack.

not ran out of beer dude, just can't be doing with people talking shit about something they have never tried or know nothing about. ok he might not be a cheeky young scallywag, but there's nowt wrong with getting Lycra'd up to do it right. same as playing golf in the daft trousers. or American football with all the pads. tell joe prattley or nick manning they are gay for wearing Lycra and riding a road bike. I know what answer he'd get back straight away
