Do you wear a jersey inside?

No jersey for me, just my bibs and bare torso. Makes for less laundry, and my wife already complains about how much laundry I produce (even though I take care of that household chore because I am so particular about what does and does not go into the dryer).
Headband (Halo) and a small gym towel keeps my sweat in check, and I also make use of the remote fan idea because it is usually a tad chilly in my attic paincave during winter mornings.

Always wear a jersey. Have to go outside to the garage anyway and I find it useful to put my phone (music/podcasts) in when I am training.
Prefer to have just my cycling top all sweaty than a base layer.

As someone else said - it is all part of the ritual of getting ready to focus on training.

I tend to do my endurance rides with a top on and no fan to help with heat acclimation. That lets me hit the hard sessions really hard (with a fan and no top) and suffer less from heat build-up.

Now, duh! Why did I not think of doing that? Hopefully I will remember this spring.

No shirt unless I need it to start and get warmed up. Shoot, the bibs I wear are ancient.

At my current weight, I hate to think what jiggles on the bike (and runs). Thank goodness I donā€™t have a mirror in the pain cave.

Whoa, what a difference the fan makes :exploding_head::exploding_head:

I used to soak everything near me and leave a puddle on the floor.
This time i could just barley sense some sweat materialize on my forehead in the last minutes of a ramp test.

I started sweating way more after the shower :joy::joy:

I ride in what is euphemistically called a ā€œ3 season roomā€. The truth is, from April to September itā€™s way too hot where I live to train in that room, but itā€™s a small house, and my wife is only willing to put up with so much.

When Iā€™m training, I have a large fan, a mica space heater, and an overhead fan. I will usually wear to tech t, but if I donā€™t have one handy, I will put on a jersey.

I have remotes (as noted above) for the heater and the large fan. My usual routine isā€¦ Space heater on, no fans. Space heater on, overhead fan. Space heater off, overhead fan. Large fan on.

One learns to adapt.

I always wear one, I have teen kids, and I dont care what they think about it, but they always have friends over, and I hate being the large adult in lycra when my daughters friends are over. :roll_eyes: I also like having somewhere to put my phone, and such, so I use the pockets much the same as out on the road.

I live in Scotland and train in an unheated brick shed.

So in other words, ā€œYes, obviouslyā€. :joy::joy:

Same as this except no base layer, when the pace ramps up further in to the workout I turn on the 3rd fan next to my head

I wear an old triathlon top. I find that it helps wick sweat and with a good fan, it keeps dripping to a minimum.

The amount of people who like wearing gloves on the trainer makes me shudder. I just use some wristbands. Sometimes a headband for the sweatier days to save my glasses. Also with only bibs on with the danger of looking like and 80ā€™s instructional vhs extra

I wear gloves on the trainer. Only recently started doing it but I struggle with numb hands (inside and outside). A combination of gel padded gloves and raising the front wheel has near enough got rid of the issue inside. As I am improving my core and putting less force through my hands it is improving outside as well.

Wear a tshirt most of the time and a headband as stops sweat dripping down and making my glasses slide about.

I wear a jersey and use a fan. Sometimes I wear a tee shirt, but I find a jersey more comfortable.

I always wore mitts for padding, but now Iā€™ve circulation issues (likely Raynardā€™s), I wear winter gloves and liners, same as for outside rides.

However, Iā€™ve previously seen it suggested that you should wear gloves or mitts to stop sweat getting on the handlebar/ hoods.

I have raynaulds too, and I can understand the padding issue if your bars arenā€™t too comfy, just personally my hands are so sweaty I canā€™t imagine how prune like my fingers would be after an hours turbo :confounded:

I genuinely had never really noticed sweaty hands, but especially not with the Cleva/ Lasko Fan.

But today was a non-fanned (car park) workout - down to an opened and sweaty jersey, but no sweat issues in my winter gloves!

84

Now that itā€™s getting colder I start off with a loose t-shirt with one fan going, then as I warm up I take the tee off and turn on my 2nd fan with a remote control (it was a Lasko from Costco similar to this one TOTAL game changer): https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/lasko-reg-16-inch-remote-control-pedestal-fan/1018956306?skuId=18956306&&mrkgcl=609&mrkgadid=3253337579&rkg_id=0&enginename=google&mcid=PS_googlepla_nonbrand_outdoorutility_local&product_id=18956306&adtype=pla&product_channel=local&adpos=1o2&creative=232742511253&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7qf_9fPn5QIVOYNaBR1AOwQgEAQYAiABEgKzI_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

My husband has his bike set up next to mine in the basement, and Iā€™ve found that when I get into really long VO2 max and upper end intervals I sometimes turn his on too (can do it with my remote which is neat)!
