How to decide what to wear when bicycling? When I started bike commuting, I took notes of what worked for me and what didn't, along with the temperature. After a year or so, I pieced together a chart. I've been following it successfully the last two years.The real value of a chart like this is for when there will be vastly different temperatures, either commuting in the morning and evening, or on day-long rides. In those cases, I note the expected range of temperatures, find the range of clothing, and either dress or pack it on the bike accordingly. I don't have to think. It takes little conscious thought, and is very efficient.
I highly recommend creating your own chart. Just don't copy my unconventional clothing choices.

Unconventional though some of your outfits are, it reminds me of the old saying, "there is no such thing as bad weather, only poor clothing". I am as vain as the next cyclist, but I recognize the value of clothing for protection's sake rather than fashion. Keep riding and posting, I enjoy your exploits.
