I quite often go to the pub in it.

Who cares what other people think.

I would have thought that many/most people do!

We're having building work done at the moment and yesterday there was 6 builders and plumbers at work. I must admit to feeling a tad self-conscious when I arrived home after a ride, all sweaty and lycra clad.

One can rationalise but that's in response to the feeling.

Cycling was invented for Lycra, wear it with pride. I bet most comments people may have had when wearing it comes from fat lazy lardy types, tell them what they look like and it touches a nerve.

I remember being heckled along the lines of "Done up for the Tour de France when he's only riding to the f*****g station", when I dismounted the tourer at Crewe. (I had baggy shorts on, but was wearing a cycling top).

The irony that the heckler had dressed in tracksuit, and expensive trainers in order to lounge around on a bench, occasionally messing with his phone, seemed to escape him.

I would prefer such attire, and used to use it, but found it would be sodden with sweat by about halfway through my ride in. Slow down they said... it then takes nearly two hours was my reply.

Would you swim in an overcoat or a pair of overalls? There are as we know many different types of cycling, yours will likely be different to mine.

Horses for courses, innit. I don't get into bibs & jersey for a 4 mile errand, but I'd not ride a fast 60 in jeans and rugby shirt either.
