Lycra out??

[Shut Up Legs]

Surely that is a factor of the intensity at which you ride not the distance per se? Understand, of course, that twiddling to work over 30km makes commuting by bike a little too time consuming.

Precisely. As much as I like cycling, I don't have that much spare time on weekdays.

There is a "Third Way".... Google the World Naked Bike Ride for options

Especially if you are male and middle aged.

Which is pretty much the majority on here lol

I wear lycra for cycling, tweed and business suits for work and I look f*cking fabulous all the time; like I'd listen to some tosser who thinks I give a shite what they think. Unless they tell what I already know, that I am fab-you-luss

Is this you?

I have never had anyone take the pee out of me for wearing lycra. Do people do that face to face?

Yes they do, face to face, but it's quite subtle, they just don't wave to you.

Dress for the destination not the journey? Will never catch on with cyclists.

See, one week they say that and then the next week when you show up at work with hypothermia they're all "no such thing as bad weather, only wrong clothing"

I found today that if you dont wear a helmet, real cyclists dont wave at you.

Had to shorten it a bit as it kept getting caught in the chain wheel and rear wheel.
