In our Quixotic quest to "not judge" we don't acknowledge the elephant in the room which is that the pants are a screaming evidence that the rider makes bad decisions and is not prepared in any way to race with others.
No, not necessarily so. He could be your iconic "Fred", and despite his gear ride everybody's pants off.
OR he could just be a rebel, and refuse to conform to the "standard".
OR he could be hustling the group . . . you know, like trolling, just to get attention or to get everyone all upset.
Sure he definitely bears cautious watching at first, but there's no guarantee he can't ride just because he wears sweats.
