"Proper cyclists"; give it a rest!

[OskarTennisChampion]

There was one on here, or so they claimed.

Did we kill it with fire ?

Why sad????

Ever tried playing the game???

That wasn't meant to be a put down btw.
Just looking for different types of clowns
And yes,I have played the game many times,averaging 14 over .
So I am one of those sad clowns,without garish colours I may add.

Better!

I think for golfers it was originally a way out of wearing drab suits all week. The same can't be said for most cyclists.

I am a fan of the tweed jacket, a classic garment that can multitask on a Friday at the office, on the golf course and even on the ski slopes. I have yet to attempt the dapper cyclist though...

You can get HiViz Tweed!

There is no end to Tweed's versatility

Yebbut, dressing up like a cross between TinTin and Rupert Bear is a bit odd, don't you think?

Anyway, I do 90% of my annual mileage in jeans so I'm not qualified to judge.

Like i said - not all golfers do

I regularly cycle in wellington boots, and in the summer, flip flops. Agree with many others the idea of being or not being a 'proper cyclist' is bullcrap - just enjoy your ride however you go, lycra, cleats, flip flops, bare feet, or whatever

I've tried wellies but find it very uncomfortable so don't cycle in them. Flipflops though are fab. And high heels are actually quite good too as the heel hooks the back of the pedal.

Lycra, fine. Jeans, fine.

Lycra with shorts over the top...

I think far worse than that are the (generally) male runners who are serious enough about running to wear leggings but then wear those tiny 'modesty' shorts over the top of them....looks far more ridiculous than just wearing the leggings on their own!

It's not for modesty, for me its for warmth at this time of year. I don't think runners give a feck what they look like.

You need all lightest kit and the performance enhancing gear nowadays or you may as well stay at home.

The pipe's probably keeping him balanced

I have both worn running leggings and done it with shorts over the top. I confess my shame!

It's only because I can't find them anymore I have worn them again this winter...

No reasonable person would defend the right of anyone to verbally assault their fellow human, so why should we tolerate visual assault by people who make no effort to conform with current fashion norms in public?
