I ride the 40 miles round trip to work in my Key brand logger jeans with suspenders and a either a wool shirt or a plain cotton t-shirt. For shoes I either wear my rubber duck boots when its raining or my latest New Balance sport shoes. In the summer I wear my Teva sandals with shorts but we can wear them at work so no problem. I've been riding purposely with my regular clothes as Grant has suggested and I have been finding out what works and what doesn't. As a young boy we never had fancy pants or shoes to wear when cycling and it wasn't until sometime in the late 70's or early 80's that I was able to purchase real wool shorts with a chamois lining. Those have long been moth eaten and are so thin in spots they look like ladies hosiery. I so enjoy riding in regular clothing and see o reason to ever go back to specialized clothing.......its just not necessary even on long hot ride. I like the idea of being able to wear what I ride in to a sit down lunch in a casual restaurant without feeling and looking like a big goof or some sort of circus clown! I'm reminded of a recent book I started reading the "The Lost cyclist" were the riders of that day wore pretty normal street wear, your basic tweed etc. Competitive cycling athletes may require the most aerodynamic threads but I see no reason to wear them.
