I don't like the clothing. Tight clothing bugs me on many levels. It is just too uncomfortable. That and 90% of the clothing is made for typical cyclists. Skinny. I am an ex-football player and have huge legs and big back and chest. I look like some weird freak when I wear stuff like that.

In many ways I am vain and I seriously don't think cycling wear looks good on many people. My uncle is a pro xc guy and look awesome in cycling wear. However most people look like pylons on bikes (some of those jerseys are just GAUDY).

So in short it is a combination of my vanity and the fact that I can't fit into the clothing. (I don't even fit into mountain bike shorts. They make the legs too narrow. The only thing I fit is homey clothing )
