Indoor Riding Apparel

Let's just assume "indoors" does not mean a velodrome, before someone brings that up....

There are many indoor bike setups, but what does one wear (when "riding") inside vs. (assumed) weather-driven gear outside?

I wear any of my random bike shorts (currently 'Sportneer' from Amazon are my favorite @ $24.99 each), and some sort of wicking t-shirt or bike jersey. Nothing fancy for me.

Same as a normal hot day, shorts and a tank top(minus the sunscreen). I don't wear "bike clothes".

Indoor for me means the gym. I also might be taking a run before getting on the stationary bike. So, I'll have on running apparel. If the stationary bike duty is in the 90 minute + range, the shorts will be padded MTB baggies. Never roadie shorts. I don't wear bibs.

The training the last couple of weeks for you know what hasn't been going well. It's either been weddings, raining, or something else. I'm going to try to get an afternoon ride in today or tomorrow, then both days this weekend. Slaving away on the trainer at night is getting old. That 52/36/28 11-34 gearing will come in handy.
