If you were to go into my closet, you’d find Tom Cruise and more jerseys than normal street clothes. I don’t know about you, but when ever we plan a ride, I will take the time to figure out which “outfit” I’ll be wearing for the the day.
I’ve always believed that half of riding is looking good. Take my tuxedo jersey for example. Above is a photo of me looking great, and check it out, my dog Cowboy looks pretty darn fantastic if you ask me! I guess I’m a bit spoiled for having my own line of mountain biking jerseys to chose from. But do you take the time to pick out what you’re going to wear, or do you just go with what’s clean?
Ok I admit I try to look like I know how to ride and am good at it, image does that if I go out there with jeans and a tshirt you look stupid I dont care if you are a Cat 1 Pro. So yes I will often look at my small attire selection for riding and pick something out.
Jerry, at the DH races, if a guy is racing in a pair of jeans and t-shirt, people will assume that the rider is pretty good. In fact, if any male racers even wear pink, they HAVE to be good in order to get away with it.
