Doesn't Ralpha make pants without flat felt seams in the crotch for cycling? I don't think people that prefer Cycling specific clothing, be it spandex or wool, care one whit what others wear. It seems as if the insecure people do care and so can wear just want they want. It isn't like people wearing spandex notice or care. But some things do work better with cloths designed for a more active lifestyle. Basket Ball is easier to play in shorts and tennis or Basketball shoes. Not that it couldn't be played in slacks and dress shoes.
