I used to go with a sleeveless t-shirt over the jersey, but when friends gave me a hard time about the spandex/chamois I'd ask them:

"Would you prefer to have your groin sit in a pool of sweat for hours at a time while your thighs are chafing against the bicycle seat?"

Generally the response was:

"Say no more."

You mean, "Look at the legs on that torso-less geek" or that the combo of spandex, bike jersey, bubble sunglasses and helmet that makes everyone look sort of oddly insect-like?

lol...yes...

however, i just remembered i saw a very good looking specimen on my trip out west....there was guy that passed me in snow canyon....he must have been 6'4, very broad shoulders, excellent pec development... (yes i was studying him in my mirror as he approached) great face...(wasn't wearing glasses) oh and nice too...he nodded and smiled and said 'great day!' as he zipped past me like i was sitting still<g>

very much ATYPICAL

And then there is the weird tanning effect of pasty white feet and tan circles on the tops of their hands.

well i won't quibble about that...i think i now have a permanent tan line on my mid thigh...and a pulse rate monitor outline on my wrist...lol

sheet, i just realized i look like a dork too...
