For those riding foldie, do u wear cycling jersey or normal t shirt?

Sent from Xiaomi MI 4I using GAGT

I do wear cycling jersey set because:
1. good padding in the shorts
2. fabric (lycra) keeps your body cool and dry
3. jersey has back pockets for wallet and phone
4. tight fit so it won't move around

but that's just me :D

oh ya.. I do wear helmet, gloves and goggles too...

1) Jersey or dri fit depending on mood, short rides just wear dri fit
2) cycling shorts if wearing jersey, otherwise can be tights with shorts for tee
3) Glove is a must (long or short) to protect you when you fall.
4) Helmet always on the Tyrell, sometimes with a sun shade on the Brompton.

Even with the best grips, glove is essential to protect your hands when falling. Road rash on hands and joints are one of the hardest places to heal. Although SG is too warm for full finger glove, otherwise will be better.. got a friend who had a nasty fall, glove protected the palm area but not the fingers, one of the nails came off... so imagine it without the gloves.

I think you can buy brand new one. Cannondale CAADX Tiagra is about 1.5K.

You also can get 2nd hand Giant Anyroad Comax 2 (carbon) but I read some reviews of crack frames around seat post due to defect.
