Why is so hard to accept that people will wear whatever makes them happy? If it doesn't make you happy, don't do it. It is not a hard concept.
My longest day ride was 125 miles on gym shirt and shorts. Why on earth should it matter to anybody if I had said full Lance getup, including the Oakley Bones shades?
I don't know what's worse; the haters, the overly defensive, or the ones that make it sounds like they are by-curious.
