agarose2000, i'm so happy for you that you've found your 'comfort gear'. If others find theirs, and it's faster than yours, well, guess what...? They're gonna pass you. Like I will, not because I need some validation, but because I need to work my legs, my lungs, and my heart. Since my job involves getting sweaty, it matters not if I work some up on the ride.
It's funny how you insist on your own uniqueness, yet condemn it in others.
