Perhaps it’s because I live in the Caribbean (Puerto Rico), but I really don’t get why lycra or full kits are for pros only. Given the warm weather all year long, I use lycras mostly.
First, as I mentioned, is the heat. Plus, I HATE carrying things on me other than on my CamelBak or jersey pockets. It’s much more comfy for me. Admittedly, baggies look much better, and I do use them occasionally, but I have always been the comfort-over-style kind.
I remember getting my pants caught on the saddle during a drop once. Scared the crap outta me and got me into lycras, after refusing to convert for so long. Your self-awareness will go away quickly after you start using lycras.
Don’t pay attention to what anyone says, try’em both and decide for yourself.
Broke my arm, basically standing with my bike, wating for a bus to pass. Went to get on the bike, fell forward and had a hairline fracture near my elbow. Kept me out a couple of months.
I’ve hurt my knee several times, nothing extremely serious, but enough to keep me off my bike for at least a week or two. Probably from riding too hard, too often. Got a HR monitor and I have learned to train a bit smarter and that has helped me a lot.
Never have and don’t think I ever will. I agree with those who enjoy the sound of silence. Plus, it’s much more safer.
Don’t even get me started on speakers. Not just a pet peeve but just plain disrespectful in my view.
