There is nothing wrong with a little or a lot of "Bling".

There IS something wrong with looking down on those who eschew the alleged advantages of the "Professional Cyclist Look." Even worse are those so-called cyclist advocates who make excuses for motorists who demonstrate lack of respect or common courtesty, as long as it is directed at those cyclists who don't fit the profile of the "professional looking cyclist" (AKA the self-proclaimed serious/real or true cyclist).
