what you wear when you ride: cycle style

[Lloyd]

What do you wear when you're out riding your bike? Jeans and vans? Hi vis vest and lightweight wicking trousers? Or perhaps you rock jodhpurs and a penny farthing? Below are some photos of cycling "style tribes" taken from a NY times article on the subject:

I love lycra and wear it whenever possible. My road riding uniform tends to be bib shorts+loud top, with the occasional cheeky gilet thrown in (generally from Condor Cycles). When on the MTB I opt for baggy shorts plus plain icebreaker merino wool tops.
