what do you ride in

[Penguinunicycles]

do you ride in shorts or pants . if shorts what type? because when i ride in shorts the legs ride up high and it looks funny

[unisteve]

I ride in a skirt. I find that's the most comfortable way.

short baggy shorts, sports shorts mostly... NEVER ride in jeans, hurts like heck!

1) I agree with you on this one, especially when you try to do bunny hops or speed unicycling. :D


I normally wear 3/4 pants/shorts and it works for me.

[john_childs]

I wear loose shorts over spandex style cycling shorts or tights.

If you're having problems with the shorts riding up then get longer shorts and look for shorts that aren't baggy in the crotch. Try boardshorts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boardshorts). For a deal you can sometimes find boardshorts at discount shops like Ross Dress For Less or Marshalls or Nordstrom Rack.

There are also urban cycling clothing styles available. Things like knicker length pants that are cycling friendly. But they tend to be expensive. Check your local urban cycling shops.

I only wear jeans. I'm coolz. On long rides, or when my legs get rashed, I wear my spandex cycling shorts underneath. Helps loads.

When the weather permits, I wear MEC freeride (lightweight and durable) shorts.

My favourite shorts to ride in are knee length and not too baggy at the crouch, pretty comfortable. I have got them hooked on the seat a few times while doing 180 uni-spins, but other than that they're prefect

[Mikefule]

Just Lycra cycling shorts.

Depends for me.

If im doing distance or just riding to a house or store or something casual, then its jeans, and my regular pair of shoes.

If im doing muni, trials, or street, then its shorts and my pair of shoes that I put 661 ankle biters in. The shorts are usually just cut offs from my older jeans/pants, but I do have two pairs of actually shorts that I bought.

I wear my shorts kinda long, so when I sit down they still cover my knee. I hate when shorts go above my knee for some reason.

All my pants and shorts are pretty loose fitting. Not baggy around my waist though, but just everywhere else is kinda loose.

I prefer to ride in shorts if using leg armor, otherwise whatever I happen to be wearing that day. In winter I wear long johns a lot so that I don't need to wear ski pants.

[kidmuni]

some pairs of jeans are reeally good for riding

[Otis_Driftwood]

I like to ride in a kilt. Keeps the boys cool and gives the girls a little....um...a lot extra something to admire.:D

[uni57]

I hate when shorts go above my knee for some reason.Aw, poor you. Try growing up in the 1970s. :)

[MuniAddict]

Baggy padded bike shorts, full protective gear, long sleeved shirt, gloves.

[Pdougherty]

Usually either jeans or some Carhartts.

[sutton629]

if i am riding all day I wear bike shorts with motor cross pants that work well with my leg protectors. Very comfortable and good protection. Normally I just ride in whatever I am in. Mostly pants lately cus it has been cold here. I just unicycle randomly.

[brendon557]

baggy jeans and a tshirt



and a helmet duh ;)

Shirt eh? Check out his avitar. Oh and where are the gloves, wrist guards and elbow pads?

[poofengle]

For just casual riding, I wear shorts/jeans. For MUni, trials, etc. I wear padded biking shorts under my shorts/jeans and I wear leg protectors (a must have). And if I can ever find my gloves again, I'll wear those too.

[1-wheeled-grape]

jeans for everything, t-shirt, 661 veggie shin guards, some crappy gloves and nice comfy animal trainers. ooh and recently my hat cos its cold.
i dont seem to have any problems with rubbing from my jeans, i used to but not any more really for some strange reason.

TIP- always wear shin guards and gloves, i found out today i cannot fly in the wet, and landed hands first, knees second and rolled... not fun to do on a paper round in the rain

[SAVAGE]

i just ride in whatever i'm wearing that day. usually jeans, cargo camos, or boardshorts, and a t shirt with a blue hoodie on top

[The UniSLAB]

I just ride in whatever I happen to be wearing, no reason to "dress up" for unicycling.

[Pu&IFLunicycles]

thanks all i will try boardshorts. ps i coudnt login so i made a new one

[Nimbusnut]

We're supposed to wear clothes? I thought people were pointing and laughing cause I was on a uni...

[epistolize]

i ride to work in my argos uniform. otherwise jeans and t shirt normally. whatever doesnt get caught up or trip me up when i'm riding. i think my wardrobe has evolved to such a state where most things i throw on are rideable in. either that or i ride so much, it feels unnatural to wear something that i wouldn't consider riding in.

[1wheelwonder]

Hahahaha!!!!

[SAVAGE]

when i'm reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally bored, I RIDE IN drum roll please!ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

[SAVAGE]

D'oh!
