Fashion is a tricky subject, riding along with your tongue hanging out of your mouth, visage twisted into a horrific cum-face, is not fashionable, but I love my Rapha bits like the base layers, the PTJ, the hats, the rucksack, the odd jersey, cos they're so well thought out, maybe overpriced but understated, I look forward to my rides and part of that is due to knowing I've got the right gear for the conditions and also because vanity is not something u do for other people, it's something u do for yourself. So it really doesn't matter what other people think, I mean Christ, if I cared that much, I'd get changed before I got in the elevator at work. My daily rides are the majority of my weekly exercise and I do them at 90%. If u can do that and not waste energy or boil/freeze then it's just a pleasure. Sure a jersey is expensive, but only the same price as a night out in London mid week, and u just don't bother with those when u cycle in and out. So do people think you're a twat? Probably, but who cares, I feel great, and I'm not looking for new mates anyway!! Do they think you're a middle aged fat cunt? Sure they do if u are, but even if u are, keep this up for a year, cycling in pretty much all conditions with a big smirk across yer chops, and you'll soon have the body of a god, lol!
You lost me at lol
