• I think wearing normal clothes commuting a few miles daily on a bicycle is damn cool and the plastic hat dayglo warriors look bloody awful. I don’t think it really has much of an effect on others but I agree it might affect one’s own ‘attitude’ in some general way.

  • Yeah that's the thing though, I went from 'a few miles daily' to 'a few more miles daily' to '10+ miles one way' - it's now definitely worth wearing full lycra to me, just for the comfort on the bike. And I need to shower at the end of it anyway, so I might as well sweat in clothing that is designed to deal with sweat.

    I'm not going to become one of those people who are yellow from top to bottom though.

  • Absolutely agree with every word of this.
