It was a chilly, dry and perfect morning for bicycling. The Broadway Bridge was packed with cyclists all wearing stylish and practical wear. See what Michelle and I wore….
My biggest shift is the addition of accessories, or furnishings if you will. Today it was gloves and a headband. Although generally preferring wool, especially on wet days, today I wore a cotton under-tee and a ribbed heavy zippered sweatshirt. Orange is perfect for cycling. Jeans are nice in Sept.
Michelle went for a more layered and open ride, with a silk-tee, two light wool layers and a jean jacket. She also stepped into wool pants and waterproof (stylish) cowboy boots. Michelle went sans gloves and headband but of course wore a helmet.
As for furnishings, I love leather gloves – if motorcyclists and convertible drivers wear them, so can we – and my red wool headband. My friend Jason brought the leg band from Europe (good only with jeans) and my Smith Sliders are shown.
You BTA people are just too stylish. How can the rest of us Portland Bikers compete?
Check out the grease stains on Michelle’s boots. Nice!
It was chilly, but I wore a tank top. Keeps me moving faster.
…BTA staffers are so fashion forward!!
Whose bike is that, Michelle?
