So I wore leggings and a black crop top yesterday for a quick spin around Vicky park. I got stares. Some men turned around to look. But what I noticed was, fellow fixed gear hipsters/roadies did not pass any comment. They looked- sometimes it made me uncomfortable but I got smug about it and decided its cause I look so flippin badass, right? However, the same thing happened as I said previously, pulling up at traffic lights or waiting at a junction resulted in guys yelling something illegible at me. I don't think its flattering, I'm not floored by this and I do not give a shit about what they think. If you really want to flatter me, why not tell me I'm really fast and fit and have great bike handling skills? Also, its great that cyclists dont actually pass any comment (apart from dassing me but ok) but I think its because they respect the sport and understand where I'm coming from? I dont know.
