I’ve got my Shimano AM45’s on ready for the ride home. For some reason this means I am a “spacker” in the eyes of my colleagues. I wouldn’t class them as high fashion but are they that bad???
looks like they were drawn up by the chap that designed the shocking slip on lonsdale trainer for sports direct did it on friday afternoon when he was drunk
God forbid i put my trouser clips on to stop material flappage on the way home. They’ll all collapse! They still don’t understand why somebody chooses to ride to work.

Hang on – do you mean you have your AM45’s on and you’re wearing your work trousers? In which case you are a spacker.
They probably can’t figure out why you have a pair of flats that can take SPD cleats. Should be either one or the other (unless you are a World Cup downhiller!)
Apparently the tiger does not concern itself with the opinion of sheep.
Think it means ignore them. I have used this recently with work colleagues who snigger at my cycling attire. It seems to work. They look constipated for a second or two ,realise what I’m getting and then tell me to **** off.
Why have you changed your shoes already (I suspect I know the answer to this one, is it because your desperate for some attention and this is the only way you can think of getting some)?

I had nothing to contribute to STW and dreamed up this baby.
Funnily enough it’s the guy with the expanding waist line at work who is the biggest piss taker when I’m in my gear. I completely ignore him, but am saving up the famous ‘Button it…’ line for a packed office.
Ignore them, and take it as banter, get it all day, one day they will realize it’s lycra not spandex, best laugh is I’m nice and slim and they all have bellys hung over their belts, one day a get well soon card apres heartattack will be theirs 😈
I rode home in AM41’s knee length Seal Skinz and 3/4 Semi Drys so you have a long way to go yet. My commute is off road and pretty muddy so I do have an excuse but luckily I don’t run into many people and give it another couple of weeks and at least it’ll be dark on the way home.
I used to get a few comments when I started rocking up in Lycra and proper disco slippers, most of ’em are not sure what to do when (depending on if I’m on the bike or not) I grab my arse/cock, bend in the reqd fashion and ask if they want to feel me.
Only shoes I don’t get laughed at by my (non-cycling) colleagues are my old shimano ‘casual’ spd’s (grey/black, laces and single velcro strap). My boss thought my defrosters were rugby boots! (I really do not have the physique of a rugby player!)

One day they’ll laugh so hard they’ll choke to death on their chips. That’ll learn ’em.
