I must admit, I have shares in that company. I can't explain exactly why. I'm just always like that when it comes to "not looking serious but being serious." That may be insecurity as you pointed out. If I become a competitive cyclist, what I wear won't matter anyway. If I don't, I still won't look "out of place."

FWIW, I take cycling seriously. My current goal is to be fit enough to be able to participate in the STP (Seattle to Portland) Classic next summer.
