(He <em>always<\/em> sends back the wine, it\u2019s a total power move.)<\/p>\n<p>For many years, as a sub-mediocre Cat 3, I did all my \u201creal\u201d cycling in synthetic jerseys and base layers.  That stuff is the crabon fiber of clothing\u2013it\u2019s light and it\u2019s great for racing, but it\u2019s not all that versatile and it doesn\u2019t hold up over the long term.  Also, it\u2019s ugly.  (Yes, I realize the irony of my saying it doesn\u2019t hold up when I also ride a crabon road bike from 1987, but if I threw a crabon bike and a steel bike out my front window I know which one I\u2019d feel safer riding afterward.)  These days I\u2019ve learned that wool is the way to go, whether it\u2019s traditional jerseys, merino base layers and t-shirts, or even regular old sweaters, which make excellent riding garments as long as you don\u2019t need the back pockets.  It\u2019s comfortable, it handles water and odors well, it\u2019s durable, and you can wear it on and off the bike.  Once you start riding in wool, you really don\u2019t want to wear anything else, which is why Mario Cipollini cycles naked:<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-attachment-id=\"14347\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/bikesnobnyc.com\/2023\/02\/14\/hitting-the-links\/kidding-2-5\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bikesnobnyc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/kidding-2.webp?fit=736%2C833&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"736,833\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"kidding-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bikesnobnyc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/kidding-2.webp?fit=265%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bikesnobnyc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/kidding-2.webp?fit=736%2C833&amp;ssl=1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"736\" height=\"833\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bikesnobnyc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/kidding-2.webp?resize=736%2C833&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14347 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bikesnobnyc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/kidding-2.webp?w=736&amp;ssl=1 736w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bikesnobnyc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/kidding-2.webp?resize=265%2C300&amp;ssl=1 265w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bikesnobnyc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/kidding-2.webp?resize=600%2C679&amp;ssl=1 600w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bikesnobnyc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/kidding-2.webp?resize=736%2C833&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\"\/><noscript><img data-lazy-fallback=\"1\" data-attachment-id=\"14347\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/bikesnobnyc.com\/2023\/02\/14\/hitting-the-links\/kidding-2-5\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bikesnobnyc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/kidding-2.webp?fit=736%2C833&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"736,833\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"kidding-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bikesnobnyc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/kidding-2.webp?fit=265%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bikesnobnyc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/kidding-2.webp?fit=736%2C833&amp;ssl=1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"736\" height=\"833\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bikesnobnyc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/kidding-2.webp?resize=736%2C833&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bikesnobnyc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/kidding-2.webp?w=736&amp;ssl=1 736w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bikesnobnyc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/kidding-2.webp?resize=265%2C300&amp;ssl=1 265w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bikesnobnyc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/kidding-2.webp?resize=600%2C679&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>I\u2019m not kidding about Cipollini cycling naked, I\u2019m kidding about showing you the photo.
