Yeah, but it's been very sedate for quite some time.
There are individuals that have some problem with others who do not wear helmets so the thread started off (and continues to be) more about tolerating anothers viewpoint and not tolerating comments like...
Riders without helmets select themselves out of the gene pool.
As to the original question, I like the classic cycling caps, but most people at work find them odd. They're also not as easy to find as they used to be. Shops want to sell you helmets instead.
I also like the classic riding wear like they had on the Amazing Race this past Sunday. Amazingly, when TAR ended the most recent leg with a bike ride, riders had to wear a helmet, but it was diguised under a baggy hat. Poorly fitted and malajusted they looked ridiculous.
I used to wear Lycra on my commutes but recently have gone back to "regular" clothes
