I normally ride in a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. I have a pair of 8 year old leggings I wear when it is really cold and a ‘wicking’ base layer I sometimes wear under the t-shirt. I am not really the shape for tight lycra.

Wife has told me to spend about £150 on some new bike clothes. I am thinking this should get me a long sleeved top and some leggings of some description as well as a few olds and ends. What would you recommend bearing in mind I ride around the south of England, not up mountains.

leopardskin thong and gold lame boob tube.

pk – they are in my ‘special’ drawer already

Get thee to a good LBS and see what they have. Plenty of good stuff in Stonehenge Cycles when I popped in this afternoon, not a million miles from you down in Scumpton on Solent! 🙂
