in different activities there is a specific set of apperal. you can wear anything you want but sometimes its recommended. like in basketball you see players wear baggy shorts and tops. hardcore runners wear the short shorts and tight top. but for me when i go running i like to wear something thats not too tight and not too loose. the average cyclist usually wears the spandex style shorts with padding in the crotch area to provide a comfortable ride and a zippered jersey to cool down. at first i thought that the whole looked dorky. after purchasing my fox jersey from REI i found out that cycling clothes definitely function the way it should. they wick the sweat away and make the ride more comfortable... for zippered jerseys... when you feel a bit hot and sweaty i can just zip it down alittle and cool down...
you can pretty much wear anything but wearing jeans increases the chances that youll get the pant leg stuck in the chain. i also picked up some fox mountain bike shorts, which are a bit looser and have the padding and a sleeveless performance jersey for those summer rides. cycling clothes can really be expensive, so its good to wait till they go on sale.
