Wicking Tee Shirt

On a recumbent you could wear the normal cycling outfit (ie, cycling shorts and shirt). When it comes to wearing a cycling shirt you can't normally pack your shirt's back pocket with the usual bulky items, such as an extra water bottle, snacks, banana, bike tire, pump, ect. A recumbent seat bag or rack comes in pretty handy when carrying the essential items along on a ride.

So what do you do when you need a shirt that wicks away moisture from you body? The answer, go to Walmart and buy their Starter activewear tee shirts. Not only is it the same material as a cycling tee shirt, but the bonus is that it's super affordable! Try $6.00 to $10.00 per shirt. That's about 1/3 the price of a normal cycling shirt. Granted you don't have the pockets in the back, but since your back is laid flat on a recumbent seat it doesn't matter anyway.
