There are no such thing as bicycle "breaks", they are called "Brakes". Likewise, there are no such things as bicycle "peddles", they're called "Pedals". Sheesh! Finally got that one off my chest.

Jerseys fit better these days, but if you have one that flaps it's pretty easy to take it in.
Zig zag stitch to preserve the stretchiness, no need to cut off the excess.
