I have noticed a phenomenon this summer which I like to call Lycra Clad Syndrome. Please bear in mind that I have no aversion to lycra, in fact I thoroughly enjoy kitting myself out on the weekend for proper rides. I just happen to commute in normal clothing with a (depressingly) hipster pinch roll in my jeans. The number of times I overtake cyclists who then overtake me 100 yards later is remarkable. I duly overtake again continuing at my constant speed. Its like they feel like they have to justify their cycling kit...
