i agree even that lycra is sensible to wear cycling to wick sweat away before you change into your work clothes, it was essential for cycling to my cocktail waitress job.

IMO wearing lycra for biking is fine and wearing normal clothing for biking is fine. The only thing that's dumb making anti-lycra such a strong part of your identity that you start buying $200 bike-specific shirts that look like normal clothing, but if you choose to do that that's between you and your therapist.

Yeah I used to road race for a lot of years and have a crapload of old kit that I wear on longer road rides and mountain biking (even though not wearing baggy shorts with lycra inside makes you gay). If I've got to change in and out of workout clothes anyway, might as well wear something that's practical and prevents chafing and I already own. I'm sure it doesn't help people not being terrified of me, but I'm always really nice.

I was chatting with a friend about bike packing and they mentioned having baggy shorts to pull over their lycra when they come into a small rural town to avoid aggression/looks from the locals. People really see red when they see lycra and it's really loving stupid. My home town radio DJ was commenting that in the summer restaurants should have shorts to offer road cyclists so you don't have some dudes dick and balls outline 2 feet from your face as they wait for their table. LOL

A majority of people just hate a majority of other people and "clothes I don't like", "eats wrong" or "wrong mode of transportation" is a more socially acceptable explanation to hate a group of people than "looks wrong" Also Americans are told their whole lives that they're The Most Free but when they don't actually know what that refers to they make up a whole bunch of weird Freedoms that they think they have, like "freedom to go fast" and "freedom from people I hate being in my way"

owns. One of the local p2p couriers in my city has invested heavily into bakfiets-style cargo e-bikes, some with bigass trailers even, and the riders absolutely send it. Speed limit's 20mph, and I'm sure those guys are no slower on their bikes than their mopeds or MCs

I was riding in front of a lycra guy the other day, and when we got to the end of the bike path he honked his loud awooga style horn, did a U-turn and sped off back down the path. I'm sure he was just honking to alert people, but l want to believe this is how Serious Cyclists record their laps.

Police horses poo poo all over the bike lanes here. The cops say it's the city's job to clean it up and the city says it's the cops' job and as a result the bike lanes are full of poo poo. Trillion dollar budget and they can't afford a bucket to hang behind the horse, smh.
