Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Boston area - apparel selection

Hello,

Wondering if anyone has an opinion on the best Boston Area shops in terms of apparel selection - namely, jerseys.

Wheelworks and IBC are close enough that I can jump over there at lunch time. I've been in WHeelworks but only for things other than apparel - and can't ay I recall how much they have.

Any thoughts welcome.

This was also posted in the regional forum, but that doesn't seem to get as much traffic and, well, I want an answer~

are you looking for any particular kinds of jerseys? pro, local teams, plain? I work at IBC. it's been a while since I've been to the Brighton store, but I'm pretty certain they have a larger selection of jerseys than the Newton one where I work.

That would be my bet, not a big fan of IBC at all.

Also Belmont WW has more selection than Ace if you head there. Check out ATA in Concord or Cambridge, but their prices are usually way high.
