Seriously? I know you were making a general statement, not speaking to me. But I work in an office where I have to wear a suit, like a great many people who work in London. Do you genuinely think I should get up, shower, put on a suit and freshly ironed suit, then cycle extremely slowly the 15 miles to work so I don't get sweaty? Presumably buying a new suit every month or so when I wear through the arse of it? I guess wearing head to toe waterproofs whenever it rains? Why the fuck wouldn't I wear lycra and shower at work? It's the only option that makes any sort of sense to me. It's a totally different sort of journey to just popping down the shops in jeans and a T-shirt. And I'll drink water whenever I'm thirsty thanks.

don't worry about @Skülly he is just getting a little grouchy with old age. he's still a kid at heart who skateboards, but he doesn't like people going faster than him on bike. he has perfected these old man rants, and has a bee in his bonnet about well toned people in lycra while he is using technical garments from the 1940's like double ventile.
Ben - it's been far too long, do hope you are well

Cycling as a means of transport requires one to be presentable at the other end - cinema, pub, date, work. Why does cycling to work have to be some fucking cardio HIT intervals bollockstroking? Just fucking wear normal clothes and do normal stuff, London! Stop being such technical-clothing wearing, rehydrating whilst commuting hiviz lycra dork twatz. Seriously every time I see someone chugging on a bidon on the way to work I think the cunts are winning.
