Wear it in the shower. Same with my helmet

It's not like I think I'm going to get singled out and made fun of or beaten. I'm just not a hardcore fixie dude and didn't want to step on anyone's d1ck. I thought maybe that's some sacred right you have to earn by jumping 10 school buses or something.
For example, in the distance running community, it's frowned upon to wear a Boston Marathon finisher's jacket if you did not actually compete in and/or finish that race. It's not that you can't buy and wear whatever the f*ck you want - it's a free country. But you will be looked down upon or at least raise a few eyebrows when folks say "oh way to go you ran boston?" and you say "no no I just like the jacket".

I personally dont give two sh1ts about boston or finisher's jackets. But there are those that do. So yeah, that's kinda where I was coming from with this thread.

Let's face it, style and fahsion has it's place in cycling. Why else would they make bike parts in all those pretty colors? If this thread offends you, feel free to change the channel.
I think that crap comes up the World Champion striped jerseys or wearing a full pro team kit. Caps are just caps and it's only a "thing" for some people that want to pretend like they ride a lot and know crap about cycling, so they wear a generic Merckx or Campy
