Greetings folks. I apologize if this subject has been beaten to death before.
I'm really excited about getting more serious about road riding but I'm feeling very overwhelmed with all of the different options and opinions on what to get and why. To boot I'm also in a weight loss phase and don't want to spend a fortune on gear that will be uncomfortably large in a couple of months. So where to start?
Padded shorts or briefs? Shorts or bibs? Jerseys? Shoes?
What does a guy actually need to get out and put miles on without having some really sore bits after a ride?
