She's seen me blow up too many times to know anything good will come of it.
Maybe it's just me but riding in jeans and t-shirt (or hooded jacket now) just seems to put me in a better place in my head. I also like to know that if shit does hit the fan i'll look a little more human in a confrontation. Recent switch to wide bars has also been a bit of a revelation.

Fair enough, it's a very different approach. I have recently become more of a bike-warrior than before... and I like my narrow bars for filtering.

I find I've become far less combative/more zen on the road since I went Dutch. (Technically Dutch-style... it's actually a Swedish bike).
I ride slow, comfortable and in my regular clothes/shoes.
Best decision I ever made.

Sounds like my commute yesterday morning, except the effect on me was that I desperately wanted to bash someone's skull into the road by the end of it.
Interesting re bike clothing, since my commute went up by 50% I am now in full cycling gear every day, but haven't really noticed a big difference in attitudes myself.
