Saw a guy when I was riding yesterday. He was really moving but something was wrong with what I saw. He had aerobars mounted on his handlebars. Ok so far. He was wearing regular cycling shorts and road shoes. Still ok. But rather than a jersey he was wearing a t-shirt. It looked to be one or two sizes too large because it was really flapping in the wind.
Is this a new style?

On several occasions, I've encountered roadie guys dressed (only) with the following:
1.Helmet
2.Eyewear
3.Gloves
4.Fluorescent T-Back Bikini Pants
5.Socks
6.SPD Shoes
They made me want to scream: AARRRGGGHHHHh, MY EYES!!! MY EYES!!!!!!!!!!!

Years ago, pre motorcycle helmet law, I saw a motorcyclist in Long Beach wearing only a speedo swim suit and thong sandals.
Used to be an older gent riding a bike around Pleasanton, CA who routinely wore only a pair of baggy shorts. He rode barefoot using rubber block pedals.
I have never encountered anyone wearing T back bikini pants fortunately though I understand lots of cyclists at Burning Man, held out at the Black Rock desert in Nevada, wear nada except shoes/sandals.
