Cycling to the supermarket - clothes?

[Bazzer]

@Paulq You haven;t asked about footwear. What are you proposing with the suggestions made? Flats, heels, or heaven forbid cleats?

Jeans and a fleece jacket at this time of year. My shimano SPDs too, or I have to faff about changing pedals. It's only a couple of miles.

Leggings (2 pair 'cause it is baltic), socks (also 2 pair), trainers, jumper, buff and, wait for it ... cycling jacket!!!

Dress according to the shop:

Waitrose - cravat, brogues, silk shirt, fedora
Sainsbury's - chinos, check shirt, 1 button undone
Tesco's - jeans & trainers
Aldi/Lidl - badly fitting shorts and ucoordinated t-shirt
Iceland - nappy

Leggings (2 pair 'cause it is baltic), socks (also 2 pair), trainers, jumper, buff and, wait for it ... cycling jacket!!!

Can we guess where Pat shops?

I can't see Netto on that list

Same here. As for the shoes, I have SPDs with the cleat on one side and the rudder casing on the rest of it, so I have a flat side of the pedal I can still use with my normal shoes!

Sod all this faffing about I say!!

I'm glad I'm not the only double legging wearer!

None of my bikes have chain guards so I can't wear jeans. They rub against the chain or get caught on the chain ring. My options are 3/4 length or shorter trousers or tightish sweat pants. At this time of year it's sweat pants.

Put your jeans in your socks

I did try that! It didn't work. My socks are too short.

I tried cycle clips with jeans. They just flew off!

Try reflective velcro bands, Aldi/Lidl sell them hen they get cycling stuff in. Sometimes they are sold as running gear.

Or buy some longer socks

Apparently you have no self respect if you wear bicycle clips













































...... Which is why I wear them all the time!
