How come bicycle clothing looks so silly?

Eat yer heart out, Nitla! Jones functional = funky looking ? Well, I commute, so I have to walk into the office. Sometimes, I can't change immediately, thus I have to be wearing something that's functional and does not look silly. Face it, most sane people couldn't wear the available bicycle clothing and keep a straight face. You couldn't sell Spandex to the motorcycle crowd. Jones |

Eat yer heart out, Nitla! Jones I am in agreement that cycling clothing looks silly. So does baseball, football, golf and soccer. You wouldn't walk into an office wearing most sports outfits. You just wear them while you practice your sport, even though you can play them without the "official" garb. If you need to go commute by bike, you can wear street clothes and you'll be fine. However, even though I pretty much hate cycling clothes, they are more comfortable and practical for riding. Especially, if you ride more than 2 hours and frequently. So, while I take off my cycling stuff as soon as I can, and do not to wear advertisements I find it way more comfortable that street stuff. I am totally aware that I look that a duffus, nerd, geek, dork, goof while sporting my cycling stuff. However, I need to laugh at myself as often as possible. Regarding the homosexual references, shhhhhhh! please don't out us latent ones. Let us keep our little secret. |

The riders wearing the ridiculous looking clothing stand out more, but it's rather a small percentage of riders. Non-ridiculous looking jerseys and classic wool knickers are still available. |

Why don't you amble over to roadbikereview.com or some such and start it there where it has meaning? Preaching to the choir has no benefits regarding changing minds or perceptions. It just shines the spotlight on the ignorant. |

The riders wearing the ridiculous looking clothing stand out more, but it's rather a small percentage of riders. Non-ridiculous looking jerseys and classic wool knickers are still available. I wear a lot of made at home clothes. My arm warmers are the legs of cheap tights and so are my leg warmers. My facemask is the arm of a cotton polyester long sleeved shirt. I wanted something thin that didn't itch and the fleece ones are two thick. My jerseys are old a full of holes. My cycling companions often toss coin at me or plan on taking collections so that I can buy clothes. One of the local lbs owners tells me that I am bad advertisement for his establishment. I don't like most lycra shorts on my legs. They itch me. Most of the really soft ones are $$$$$$. I like the cotton ones or the supplex ones. Supplex and cotton shorts are made by very few companies, so mine are almost all transparent. If someone knows a source of cheap, silky soft cycling shorts, let me know. |

I like your method of reusing clothes for other purposes especially the one abt using a sleeve form jersey as facemask!! Good one I sometimes use old wool socks as mittens when running |
