My favorite, though, is the notion that falling out of fashion is fascism. What part of not following a trend is akin to a system of government anchored by fear, intimidation and a stringent control of media?

I think he's trying very hard to be clever. Didn't really work, at least not for me. But I don't think this is for people who actually ride bikes.

I have some kit stuff, some not. I like it tight because I don't like it flapping in the wind. I know what fascism actually is. And I wear whatever I feel like. Lance being a doper doesn't figure into it.
