Any bloke, other than a professional athlete, who thinks its acceptable to leave the house dressed only in lycra needs to take a long hard look at themselves.
*yawn*
I wore lycra bib shorts and a dakine jersey on the commute today – don’t know if you noticed, but it is chuffing hot outside at the moment so I didn’t fancy my usual baggies over lycra option.
Likewise if it is peeing down with rain then lycra is a good option as the baggies get all wet and flappy.
I know it’s not a flattering look. My 3 year old openly points and laughs at me.
But y’know.. so what? The helmet, gloves and shoes aren’t a great look either. Neither is being muddy, out of breath, wet or sweaty.
If you want to ride about in normal casual clothes, and only in good weather, at walking pace, then go buy some ironic glasses you don’t need, put on your sister’s jeans and get your fixie out. 😀
