Just to clarify my point in few words so that some of you don't take it out of context and have your way with it.

1. Article stating that the image of cycling is hurt by some piece if clothing just doesn't make any sense in the real world.

2. I am telling you the real reason cycling is unpopular with the mainstream. Mainstream thinks that it is too dangerous to be on the road with drivers such as them selves and the ones they have witnessed, (but don't let the truth fool ya, lycra is the real problem).

3. Dangerous it is, but with the right set of skills it can be overcome, which takes time to learn and it's not easy.

Hope that's clear enough.

But if you want to get into how lycra changed the world of cycling forever, well, just get on with it.
