As I have posted else where, since I dont need bike clothes to protect me from my bents, I am saving tons of money. I wear T-shirts I get free with bike tours, or buy others for approx $15. And too I still buy rugby shorts on sale for $15 too. OTOH is some peacocks want to impress others with their high priced garb, more power to them.
I don't understand. I rode DF bikes for decades wearing t-shirts and whatever shorts I felt comfortable in at the time. That's part of how I originally acquired the Retro Grouch nickname. How are recumbents any different?
