Threads like the one this one if a response to really confuse me. I don't understand why people are so intolerant of those who dress differently than them. So one person prefers low key shoes and one likes them a little flashy, both are entitled to wear whatever they like. But yet people are constantly insulting each other because this guy wears team jerseys or this guy wears spandex or this guy wears baggy shorts etcetera etcetera etcetera.

I wear lycra bibs because it's the most comfortable thing to ride in. I choose to wear plain black one because I think they go well with whatever else I choose to wear.
I wear jerseys because T-shirts make me too hot and when riding around in Florida you need to do whatever you can to stay cool. Plus the pockets in the back are really useful. I choose to wear colors that I like because well, I'm the one wearing them.
I wear cycling shoes because I've tried toe straps and prefer clipless pedals. I wear the ones I like for the same reason stated above.


*I also wear lycra shorts because my wife thinks my but looks good in them.
