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

Aside from my team jersey I'm pretty partial to the '02 to '04 Castelli Simple jersey. I have the short sleeve and long sleeve in blk,dk blue, red and white (I also have the matching Ypro3 bid shorts and tights). I'm not wild about the '06 style so much.

Patriot- your favorite jersey goes with trinity very well, it gets me thinking of a whole new step to ocp. How about custom bike specific jerseys(i.e. one custom designed jersey just for each of you rigs)

My favorite jerseys are all from clubs/teams that I belong to or organized events that I have participated in.

I also have a few interesting jerseys from bike shops that I've visited on out-of-town or foreign cycling vacations.

I don't like team jerseys from teams that I don't belong to. If you like those, I don't mind if you wear them.

I also don't like dark jerseys (black, navy blue, dark green, etc.). Especially this time of year, those are much harder for car drivers to see than orange or yellow.

My favorite jersey was destroyed during my crash when the paramedics cut it off. I still have it in my closet with the others. It was a Tour de France jersey. It was red, white and blue colors. I had to have more morphine in the hospital when I found out they cut it off me.

I've always wanted one of these:



I think it would be hilarious to have a 225 pound triathlete wear one of these

I bought this jersey when I weighed 173 lb. and though "jelly belly" suited me. Also, Team Jelly Belly rides Orbeas like I do so the OCP in me said to buy it.




Then I got this jersey at the LBS because I do enjoy a martini(Bombay Sapphire, shaken, not stirred)




But this jersey at $25 is really comfortable.

Here is the front and back views of my fave.
We had them made for our riding group. We are not really a club, no fees, no meetings, just meet and rides. We always start and end our rides at local family taverns.
