Is it possible to look good whilst wearing cycling specific clothing?

I’m think more the average slightly overweight middle age person rather than some young gun.

Pictures required as examples.(not cleavaged ladies))

Personally, no.

My kids say I look like Daddy Pig in his puddle jumping costume and they are not far wrong to be fair.

Good is how you define it.

And to add, the general baggies and top is fairly casual if you want it to be. It’s still sports wear so purpose comes into it.

Third post derailment, on it!!

I think you can 😀

Either way I don’t give a toss what others think 😆

Thats why we need pics, eye of the beholder and all that.

This thread has Biker fox written all over it

black, all black, as much black as possible with occasional blue is my take on the subject. & I mostly ride at night. make of that what you will. 🙂

no, you can’t. You buy black gear because it hides dirt and mostly matches other black gear. You then pick what’s clean, put it on and go cycling.

Occasionally, when road cycling, you may have something with a bit of luminosity in it, so that a random clown trying to text and drive at the same time ‘might’ not kill you and only swipe you in the rectum with their wing mirror.

This obsession with wearing pastel shades of blue* and having a contrasting orange* helmet is a load of hippy, dippy, baloney that has even spread to the pages of single track. It’s the cycling equivalent of the hipster beard, ponytail and man bag.

*Other strange combinations are available and make you look equally like a plonker from the pages of MBUK.

No, regardless of age or physique you’re going to be riding a bike and hopefully wearing a helmet. All helmets look silly.

Look, you can either wear any old shabby clothing, or become a proper fashion icon. Of the two in this photo, which would you rather be?

average slightly overweight middle age

FTFY and judging by the like of Llandegla at the weekend, no.

guessing that’s you on the right Col, so who is the other? 😆

I wear regular clothes on my town bike. My town bike goes nearly everywhere. My regular clothes and town bike both look rubbish anyway. I don’t much care what other people think, so just enjoy cycling in whatever. Solved!

If you get asscrackattack then simply wear bib tights under whatever, it keeps your back warm and saves the eyes behind you.

Oh – another regular (post-ban) STW poster.

From Edinburgh.

Who might, or might not, own a bike with two seats… 😆

Yes, but only when actually riding a bike.

What, like this…

Or this…
