Co-workers/ what piece of cycle gear, gave them the greatest fits.
For me. Cycling designated caps. I was taunted over those without let up. Comments, like 'when your cap grows up,' it can be worn to a ball game. I finally stopped wearing them. My Banesto cap. I think it is cool. Eventually, they got to understand cycling shorts and jerseys. but, never a cycling cap .
Does a cycling cap have any real function. Guess the brim cuts down on the sun. w/o helmets, don't they fly off all the time?

It's not my cycling gear that generates fits--it's the lack of stuff to impress the snooty OCP roadie passing by that gives THEM fits

If you have to ask why you wear one, the answer is none.
Maybe your right answer is to get a reaction from others.

My boss used to hang around the hallway at quitting time to laugh when I came out of the rest room after changing for the commute home. He seemed in particular to make fun of my tights and/or shorts, cleated shoes, and bright Pearl Izumi jacket.
What made this funny to me was that he's a golfer stuck in 1973 golf-wear; think plaid pants, yellow pants, green pants, polyester pants, etc. Ever have to go to an important meeting with a guy wearing plaid yellow and green polyester pants?

If I happen to take my good bike to work, it's fun to let the commoners pick it up to feel the weight. Then I show them how the flight Deck computer shows what gear I'm in. Eventually they ask what a bike like that costs and the jaws drop.
If a person chooses to buy a new car that, for whatever reason, costs $3,000 more, nobody will even notice. Tell them that you paid $3,000 for a bike that you still have to pedal and they might go into a ballistic rant. It's fun!
