Yeah, I'm in Austin, and I can honestly say I can't imagine riding more than a mile without sweating, no matter what the clothing. I wear lycra because I would have to change clothes when I get to work no matter what, so I might as well wear bike clothes on my bike.

As for the article: wtf? It'd be like saying, "Oh, I'm gonna drive to work in a car that picked out because I liked the color. I'm also gonna drive with my work bag on me, because I don't want to have to change anything when I get out of the car. Then if I have a problem with the car, I will quit."
