LOL! Sure.

Last week, I was riding with about a dozen people to bring awareness for the need of bike lanes on a busy road leading to a popular bridge in NYC. There I met a man dressed in a daper 3-piece suit riding a custom-made tank of a bike that weighed almost as much as I do. It had a normal sized rear wheel but the front wheel was about 20" with a built-in huge basket in the front -- similar to the utility bikes you can find almost everywhere in Amsterdam. He looked great in that suit and the bike was hot too.

We're supposed to meet up later this week over bike related stuff so I'll ask if I can take a picture of him in his suit & his bike to illustrate that men can indeed dress in 3-piece suits to commute to work in the US. It's not just a "European" thing.
