You have to consider location to some extent. I imagine in southern (or northern) California, people are pretty used to seeing recreational cyclists in kit. Here in the midwest, not so much. There are only a few restaurants where I would feel welcome in lycra. And I understand there are places in the southern US where people will kick your ass if you wear cycling clothes.
Actually, a friend of mine here in Lansing told me, "If you wear that dorky helmet in this neighborhood, you're going to need it because everybody will be trying to knock you upside your head." :eek:
I rode in one area of SC years ago where if you were wearing a helmet and kit they would throw things at you...I guess that is why they insist on helmets for group rides:innocent:
