I'd wear 'em if they were a quality pair of bibs that were on sale. A color doesn't determine or display your sexual orientation. And a bright pink pair of shorts would certainly make it easier for your family's lawyer to prosecute or bankrupt any inattentive driver who claimed he never saw you.
I don't particularly like the red, white, black '09 Pearl Izumi Pro Octane bibs, but I do love the chamois & fit. Fortunately no one else liked their look either, so I got them for almost half of MSRP.



Haha. And unskinny riders like me look like a holstein cow in them.

We repressed Americans crack me up. Other countries have actual women on their nude beaches, but our nude beaches are pretty much the exclusive domain of obese, gay men. I wonder why that is?

FYI, pros don't carry tools or tubes. They stop and wait for the car to get a new wheel, a team mate gives them a wheel, or they are totally bad ass like Abraham Olano:
