What are your riding colours?

lucan

White, with red and black - that's my bike, so my preferred kit is the same. But my club colours are orange and blue

So, accessories like helmet and gloves have to be neutral colours.

Not that I give it any thought really... obviously :roll:

I am currently wearing black pearl Izumi with a blue stripe a purple jersey and a White grey and purple helmet. But I have a passion for green and when money allows I will probably be updating my kit to include alot more green. My bike is a 2011 Kona Lisa road which is White with turquoise writing, so I don't think it will clash too much. Though my boyfriend says he won't ride with me anymore, he favours the stealth head to toe in black look.

i wear hoodies and jeans and then pass cycling club members just for the look of bemusement at some kid going by. that's possibly a bit sad though

Now, what was the question again?

Are you a panda?

I'm big enough. Perhaps it could be my evening job

Club colours - currently Red and white with a bit of yellow but traditionally red, yellow and black which I prefer (too much white on current shorts for a fat, ageing cyclist!).

Bike is black,blue and white, so that is what colour my clothing is

However, when I was commuting, I wore an Altura Night Vision yellow jacket.

If I change bikes, then changing clothing imediatly would not be a priority for me.

Having a red/white/black bike i tend to wear white/black/red clothing so they don't clash

Cheap pair of cycling shorts and an ol´Adidas yellow sports shirt which like my bike is about 10 years old.

I've never been accused of being stylish.

Bike is a dark cherry red metallic so matching kit would be a problem.

Fortunately I don't care what I look like and shop on the basis of VFM. I have the recent bargain Planet X jerseys in both bright yellow and the more subtle pale blue / white, some DHB Finchdean bibshorts in a very bright blue and black, an old Endura Jaffa orange not very waterproof jacket, blue spesh mitts, and a very old Cratoni helmet with blue, red, black and silver on it. And some Nike touring spd shoes in black / silver.

So that's red, orange, yellow, 2 different blues, silver and black. I feel I should be on the lookout for something in green / pink / purple now!

bike 1/3 red, 1/3 white and 1/3..........................you guessed it, black!!

Im a noob so dont have a great deal of kit, in fact still wearing my endura Humee jersey! Hsve bought some Altura bib shorts in - black!

Am looking at some clobber becuase its annual bonus day tomorrow, think I might get some repllca Rock Racing kit, I like it. And its black. With red and white!

Must be a conspiracy...Wiggles new kit is mainly red, black and you guessed it...white. Now I need a red bike

BelgianBeerGeek

Oh I forgot, I already have.

TanukiRider

Stealth red!!

foo-fighter

i ride in a help for heroes jersey, and im damn proud to do so!!

I have some red/white/black clothing, which matches the red/white/black bike perfectly.

I have some blue & white knicks, and a couple of nice blue jerseys. These go nicely with the blue and white bike, and not bad with the red/blue/white one (mtb... shhhh)...

There are a couple of mostly black ensembles which go superbly with the plain carbon (gloss clear coat finish) bike for the stealth days. Uber-stylish. 8)

The polished aluminium bike goes with any of the above...

The dark green frame bike is a problem to match with clothing. Black and white works, blue is ok, but haven't yet found the perfect combo. That sounds like an opportunity..

"Hellllloooooo Wiggle? Can I have the clothing department please?"

MountainMonster

My bike is carbon and yellow, so i've gotten myself a white and yellow livestrong jersey, with all white gloves, and a black pair of specialized bibs. Very comfortable and looks the bollocks if you ask me!

rick_chasey

White & blue (with blue tyres)... (i.e. a quick-step jersey)

Or, crazy '90s yellow et al jersey, depending what I fancy (read, giro '98 Mercatone Uno)

Peanutt

Black with a yellow skid lid to match my steed.

Frank the tank

Black/white but I wear other colours which match whichever bike I happen to be riding.

I'm a bit new to the road biking thing, still getting the hang of it. But can I respectfully suggest whatever colours your lycra shorts may be, that dark is best from a modesty point of view? White is clearly see-through - not pleasant when drafting. :shock:

secretsam

Have just acquired a nice black and red top, looks good with red and black bike

The blue mitts look a bit wrong, though...

Have you seen the new Jerseys they have for this years tour? They look extremely nice, and are a very decent price!

This is exactly why I will continue to wear white shorts.

If you are that slow you have to sit on my wheel, you deserve to suffer. Otherwise, MTFU and pass!

AndyF16

whatever is on sale basically, but i do like how the pinks and whites seem to puzzle and/or annoy people i know - maybe as I'm a rough looking 6' barrel chested former international truck driver with perma-stubble
