More cycling clothes, than normal clothes ?

[Angry Blonde]

im a wagon driver, work like twelve thirteen hours a day, and just came to realise, i work and live in my work gear, comes to weekends and i wear the same set of clothes, but when it comes to cycling i have many different outfits, either warm, cold, wet etc! Anyone else in this boat

Me.
My sister-in-law says that I'm not a proper woman as I don't have lots of clothes and shoes.
I do have a couple of pairs of winter long cycling bottoms, a pair of shorts, 2 pairs of bib shorts, a pair of 3/4 bibs. Several tops, 2 pairs of cycling shoes (SPD & Look cleats). I've got a bunch of buffs and a helmet. 3 pairs of gloves (mitts, thin wool gloves & sealskinz), 2 cycling jackets and a waterproof.

Normal clothes consist of 2 pairs of jeans, some tee shirts, couple of jumpers and 1 frock in case we go out anywhere. Pitiful really.

I estimate if I add together my swimming cycling and running kit, (including the 8 pairs of cycling shoes, 6 pairs of running shoes, 15 pairs of gloves) that I have at least 250 items of sports kit. At one point I had 47 base layers of various types. Whittled that down now, but still got tons

Same here. Drives my wife mad.

I hear about it as well. I seem to gather a lot of kit from sales and such. I was asked why there were 2 sets of goggles, I told Mrs. GA one was for winter when it is just winter, the other, darker pair for winter with snow. 2 pairs of tights, formal and informal. The nice thing about Illinois is you can always explain things away by nattering on about layering. Our club also has an established ride on January 1, a fine excuse if I ever saw one. I may have to order a Cross of St George Buff for riding to church, though.

I'm always looking to get more stuff as long as it's mainly black with splashes of colour! The club is trying to decide colours for tops and you guessed it as long as there's some black I'm happy

I have lots of cycling jerseys and I have no idea why.

About 3 years ago my local superstore had a lot of grey/Red/white cycling jerseys reduced to about £3. I bought 6 of them and 5 are still in their plastic bags in the loft. The one I wear gets lots of use but still looks like new. Apart from those 6 I have about 8 more and they all wear really well. I think it must be the colours that attract me.

I have about 4 sets of leg and arm warmers but I only have one set of arms and legs. Whats that all about?

New years resolution. Stop buying cycling gear. That does not include bikes.

I don't think I'm a proper woman either. More cycling/walking gear than owt else.
Also, I own more kayaks than handbags!

You own a handbag?
Never had one, can't see the point in them.

I think 80% of my wardrobe is filled with cycling clothing, some of it was bought as other use but can double up as cycling gear.

Most of the time if I'm buying clothing for any other use it's always with a view to being able to cycle in it too

I'm about 50/00, but I'll admit to taking better care of the cycling clobber.

I have zero interest in "normal clothes" but get kind of oddly excited when looking at cycling attire.

We are a feckin odd bod bunch.

This.
Don't have much cycling gear as such but can cycle in most of the clothing I own.
Got a low step ladies bike that I use when I want to wear a dress.
Shoes are more the problem, can't cycle in heels, then again, can hardly walk in heels!
