Well he would say that, wouldn't he?
9 out of ten people say they look like they could do with a square meal says proprietor of expensive restaurant.
"probable chafe caused by baggy shorts." Pah. I rode 100 miles in baggy shorts* yesterday without the least trace of a chafe.
* Edit and £10 Aldi jersey, my absolute favourite bit of cycling kit.

Oh dear! Whatever shall we do?
Just more reasons for me not to buy Rapha stuff. Pretentious and overpriced kit - they are selling a lifestyle, not performance clothing. A lifestyle where I pay over the odds for basic designs from a company ripped off from a cycling team of yesteryear. It's not original or refreshing, it's just a money making ploy.

I'm 57 in two weeks. I no longer care what other people think.
What a shame you feel like that at such a young age.

Well I know I look great on a bike, so I must be one of those 1 out of 10 cyclists. And I don't even own any Rapha kit.
What did the profit jump by?

I'm 61 and I care very much how I look on the bike; I have a sneaky belief that if you are properly dressed and riding purposefully, holding a good line and asserting your right to road space, drivers will treat you with more respect than if you are some muppet in a hoodie on a mountain bike with no lights, swerving across the road daring them to knock you over.
