Nobody has mentioned the real reason for riding in a t-shirt - ' how else do I let people know I saw Iron Maiden /GG Allin/Boyzone (delete as appropriate) on the 95 comeback tour'?
And that striped shirt, shopping basket shot couldn't say 'teacher' more if it was tattooed visibly.
I got a puncture today. Was it because I was wearing a tee?
I just remembered, during very hot weather I wear a sleeveless cotton t-shirt, and sometimes wife beat when riding my bike!
The shame!
Yeah OK I do wear a T if I cycle to the shops on my rat bike. Honestly, if it's more than an hours ride, and particularly if wearing a pack, I find cotton T's gross. And if I have to put a jacket on, really gross.
Given my little pronounced belly and sweatyness (Sexy I know, but I am in my 40s now), I'm not terribly keen on tight-fitting either. So normal fit or slightly loose breathable non-absorbing synthetics are just the ticket. I'm not hung-up on cycle specific, but I do like the feel of my 3/4 sleeve Enduro burner top, to the extent that I wear it off the bike too.
Sorry if I came across grumpy earlier. I've been for ride (in a synthetic T) and feel better now. 🙂
I ride in a t-shirt (and usually a merino base), I'm now doubting every cycling mile I've ever ridden, they could all have been better in something that dries quickily but smells like rotting flesh whilst also being just a little too tight fitting to my less than perfect physique ....
Just back from a nice bike ride; I wore a cotton T-shirt, non-bike-specific shorts, cotton underpants, and sandals.
And I survived! 🙂
I'm currently negotiating book and film rights with various publishers and production companies, who want to bring the story of my horrific ordeal to the masses.

I think we should form a support group for those of us what wear cotton T-shirts.
My name's Elfin, and I like to wear cotton next to my skin. 😳
There. I've said it.
I feel somewhat liberated. Now, where are those cheap nylon knickers...?

Yeah but your rides are all cruising the urban jungle of Docklands on a fixie with too narrow bars, aren't they?
Elfinsafety - Member..........and sandals.
Wearing sandals on a [i]proper[/i] bike ride is even dafter than wearing a tee shirt.
Still, it's your toes you're gonna muller and mash up, and the sight of you in sandals does make me chuckle.
Were you also riding that bike of yours with a shopping bag on the handle bars off-road ? [img]

Useful anecdote.

Errr. I have only ever worn t-shirts whilst riding.
