I generally try to avoid looking like your average road cyclist. Clothes that scream out "I CAN RIDE MY BIKE REALLY FAST!" just seem stupid to me. In fact, I take special pride in burning spandex-wearing "I-Swear-I'm-A-Cat-1" weekend riders as often as possible. That said, I do own a pair of spandex shorts. I got them on sale, and they really are the best pants for biking in hot weather. I figured the shorts would be ok as long as I wore some sort of non bike-specific shirt. I know how ridiculous that sounds, but that was my plan... until now.
My parents visited Chicago this past weekend. They are from Shanghai, the land where jackets from The North Farce are $20 and all prices are subject to negotiation. They are always nice enough to bring me some clothes, and this past weekend they brought me a nice shell jacket and a bike jersey. My First Bike Jersey. The bike jersey is pretty sweet and I look forward to testing it out on the trail.

Now its just a matter of time until I start looking like this champion here:
