Having just received my newly purchased morevelo jersey (flash sale couldn't resist )I've realised that I now have 5 different perfectly good jerseys and iam beginning to think I might have a problem ๐ so how many is to many
One.
Nine base layers though. 8)
5? Oh....
Does that mean all your bikes are the same colour?
5?? I've got that many in the washing machine right now!
About 12 I think..
I have 8, but i do wear them on a daily basis not just for riding. And 4 pairs of baggy shorts too, wear them daily also.
short sleeved, long, or both?
6/4/10
I have a road drawer and a mtb drawer. Each has around 5 jerseys in it...
5.. ๐ฏ
Er, about 20... if not more...
Mind you I do the team kit and get a new one every time I do a new design.
None ๐
I just wear whatever baselayer I drag out the wash basket!
10 short sleeve
2 long sleeve
1 short sleeve gabba
1 long sleeve gabba
2 "retired" jerseys due to doping association and the looks I get from other riders
Reckon I could go a month without wearing the same twice.
Road + mtb, probably about 20. To be fair all of my mtb jerseys are over 5 years old. Still wear a Prisoner of Passion short sleeve from a Cannondale promo at Red Bull 24hr in 2000, and some I bought when living in the US in 1997.
Born again roadie and year round commuter so have summer and winter collections both in haute couture and pov.
Road - 3 s/s and 2 l/s
MTB - 4 s/s and 2 l/s
I have 4 identical jerseys.... that should say it all.
Six ,and two that I'm currently too fat to wear in public ๐
Plus another 6 base layers for varying temperatures.
Oh and another two ,exclusively for mtb.
Like CTmonkey ,all bar one are over five year old..I wear it til it falls apart.
Yeah lots. Every weather eventuality covered. Faves are the Salomon ones which are actually running tops, cheap from Cycle Surgery and perfect for cycling. Got 4 of those alone!
9 I think in varying cuts depending on my chub levels.
Too many ...... 10+
Including soft shells and what not, about... 40 ๐ณ
Really ought to clear out old team kit!
12 I can see, excluding jackets.
12 base layers too, but many of those double for weights and running.
I can't be bothered to go upstairs and count, but there are two drawers of them - one for long sleeve and one for short sleeve. There are at least four gilets before you even get onto jerseys...
2 drawers, pulease... I have 2 CHESTS of drawers of just cycle kit ๐ Whilst Im thinking about it I also own 5 helmets and 8 pairs of cycling shoes...
Think I have 10 but not all of them get used, obviously they are all seasonal too.
Probably need more Base layers actually, only got 4 at the moment...
Probably 30 or 40. Thought everybody did?
5
1 soft shell
1 ss mtb
2 ls mtb
1 ss cx
Quite a few, to many if you ask the Mrs! They all get worn though and I tend to buy when on offer.
Err, without venturing upstairs to get an exact number:
Road short sleeved x12.
Road long sleeved x4.
MTB short sleeved x4.
Base layers x20 ish.
Get into bibs, tights and accessories and it starts to get embarrassing...
4 short sleeved (only 2 of them regularly worn)
2 long sleeved
3 base layers
Oh crikey if we include gilets and base layers I'm over 50!
I've probably worn 10 this year (plus the base layers and gilets).
Oh crikey if we include gilets and base layers I'm over 50!
Me too. Think I have 8 gilets.
That makes me feel better, I've only got 5, although 3 are totally identical!
6 gillets here I think, maybe 7 actually.
I used to think I had a problem.
Used to....
I have a full chest of drawers full of cycling clothes. and half a shoe rack ๐
I still keep spotting new things I'd like
About 20 probably.
The number has soared since I got into road biking.
I've just hung 3 on the washing line, 2 bought this month. I've no idea how many I have, approaching high teens I think.
To be fair I do ride most days.
I think I've been pretty ruthless over the years but I must have 40+. All get worn for something!
about 80 jerseys, 10 pairs of shorts and 5 skin suits... but then I am the kit manager for a cycling club ๐
6,but only 2 fit me now & I only wear 1 of those. The blue one.
one less as I've just sold my Rapha Country jersey
So down to about 15 now.....
which would be fine except cycling is now my No.3 sport...
1 (one) yes that's all and I ride to work (12 miles each way) every day, throughout the year plus I ride over the weekends. I use it for mtb'ing and road cycling. I've done 600k audaxes in it and some bigger rides. It has mold stains on it but I don't care. It saves any tricky decisions on what to wear in the morning. Bit of lynx sorts the slipstream out plus my approach is good for the environment. I've had it since about March last year. It developed a hole in the rear pocket through which I lost a bluetooth headphone dongle so my mum sewed it back up.
I might buy a new jersey soon however. I have my eyes on a couple. I'm worried however that this may open the floodgates to a new period of profligacy.
Anyone else got a built in wardrobe where only cycling kit hangs? The joys of living alone! ๐

Yes.
And I don't!
We have a spare room that it's difficult to open the door into for all the cycling kit in there. ๐
