Cyclists of /n/, do you wear a lot of loud obnoxious advertising logos on yourself when you ride?
no, the only bike-specific piece of clothing i wear are gloves because my hands get bad circulation and i don't get to hide my hands in pockets when cyclingyes, that does mean i might wear a suit together with bright yellow motocross gloves on occasion
>>2051742No, I wear an oversized t-shirt with a humorous print on the back over my armor.I don't wear any special cycling gear when I ride my gravel or any normal bikes.
>>2051742>sp instead of son this dude is an idiot
>>2051742I just wear jeans and a T-shirt.
>>2051742nah I wear spandex like pic related with very subdued branding, shit is comfy. or I'll wear a merino t-shirt and some giro touring shorts. don't get how people can stand being miserable in cotton shirts and jeans but that's their problem
Yes, I do wear boldly branded kit - but only if I have a direct personal connection to the business or organization. If a stranger asked me in the middle of a ride why I'm wearing something with 'x' printed on it I would happily tell them.The exception to that rule would be something like a Shimano -branded shoe or sock. I don't have any real connection to Shimano, but I'm a fan of their products, so I don't mind helping them advertise since I do want them to stay in business and keep on making nice things.
>>2051771Isn't she afraid of getting her nice perfect female skin all scuffed up if she crashes? That would be such a waste :(
>>2051768cottonbros are the worst. good shorts + merino t as you say is peak. i also like picrel or similar for sun protection
>>2051742Yes, the team sponsors makes the clothing free. So in a way I support the companies that support me.
>>2051787just save it for later
I mostly wear vintage jerseys from the 90s since they were cut longer back then and have actually nice colors schemes. Two if them have loud sponsoring on them but these companies propably don't exist anymore. I often get compliments from riders. Modern jerseys are shorter and come in stealth colors mostly which is kinda lame. Torm being a noteworthy exception.I like riding in jeans shorts, the jeans fabric is quite thick and that helps with comfort. However I regretted this on a 170k bike race recently and will look into padded undies next.>>2051744sweet
I only wear anime shit
>>2051748Is Schmitt and SON the same thing?
>>2053768Yes. SON stands for Schmidt Original Nabendynamo
>>2051742>Specialized Allez>press-fit bottom bracket
>>2053800a few years ago, like 2018-ish, some models of the Allez Sprint used BB30 but they would have used R7000 so yeah
>>2051742Yes. It's a contractual obligation. It also increases visibility slightly.
>>2051742Nah, helmet is the only thing with a logo and it's kind of cryptic.
>>2053800Yes I own one of these 2017 expert
>>2051742My bike is from Walmart and all my clothes are from thrift stores
WHat are some long dedicated cycling trousers that I can beat up and wash a ton, but wear casually in the city? I only really bike around in town, but am sick of getting holes in the thighs (from saddle friction) and chain smears on my actual good chinos and trousers.
