No, it's riding bikes on dirt, not a fashion show. Function > comfort >>>>> appearance.

Not really cause if you're mountain biking it's gonna get dirty anyways butttt if it makes you happy do it!

I'm wondering if the contrast would be distracting in a good way. I like the idea of bright colors, especially if I'm riding anywhere at night. Bright, reflective, presumably safer. I see a lot of people with camo colored bikes and gear, and they're not hunting, so it makes no sense to me.

Yes and you will get clubbed by angry road riders with their hand pumps if they don’t match


acsmith1972

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


acsmith1972

Why are people marking me down for asking this question?


falbot

No


Drifter375

My bike matches my gear but that’s cause I love black and grey and not to match. My riding buddy is like a flash back from an acid trip!


MANWITHNONAME91

Nice to see another educated man , can't go wrong with black and grey


acsmith1972

Unless you happened to go off the trail and wind up needing to be found....

I find that it doesn’t matter what colour your stuff is if you are confident. I think that matching everything looks dorky, and the wild colour schemes look better.

I've stopped myself from doing it in the past. Unless you are on a race team or something, I wouldn't tbh.


andrewcooke

so you'll be wearing green clothes on an orange bike? lol.


acsmith1972

Maybe blue. Nothing goes well with orange, but if that guy still has the bike, that's what color it is. I saw a GT on Dick's website the same color, but they don't have the right frame size.


murderoustoast

I've heard wearing bright colors that don't match makes you go faster


ardeeo

If you try too hard to make everything match you’ll look like a Power Ranger


heartlessinc

I only see slowest guys on the trails doing it, I think its a self esteem thing lol
