it should be ok to do a normal race with a vest, but if you are racing licensed category, then UCI rules state you must have sleeves

[Mudsimus]

Because you look like a tjop when wearing them..

[splat]

Maybe too many people wore arm warmers with sleeveless tops and the fashion police stepped in and put a stop to it?

As far as i know it's a UCI law for racing.If you look at events like Argus you will see many riding in vests.

100% correct but still a little better then tools wearing arm warmers with it. (stands and points to the crowd of tri-athletes)

 

EDIT: Okay I see Splat already mentioned this.

Couldn't agree more!!

[messenger]

'coz if you have enough money to buy a bike and enter a race, you should be able to afford sleeves on your shirt!

 

It is more socially acceptable **** your pants.

Or just wear a sign that says i have a small .............

Oiy! some of us wear them to try avoid the infamous tan lines (ok, so some of us girls are materialistic and image-conscious.... ;P )

You're all just jeolous, cause you don't have the guns to show off whith sleeveless.

 

I run with sleeveless and my tri-top is sleeveless.

[spider-man]

you should only have one cycling vest, safe cycling vest over your normal kit.

Its fine for girls....

But not for anyone who thinks he is a girl, should have been a girl or want to be a girl.

 

One or two exceptions like triathlon.

One of the vets in the Western Cape wears a sleeveless top in licenced races and nothing gets said.
