As a cyclist, the warmer weather that the return of spring and summer brings is what we live for. As we begin to shed our thermal layers, it's always a feeling of celebration when we take our first ride outside in short sleeves each year.
It's tempting to mark this annual milestone with the purchase of new kit, the cyclist's equivalent of a Christmas Day outfit, but the cost of some of best women's short sleeve cycling jerseys is often triple digits, making it hard to justify.
