Thanks for the heads up. I don't think that's ever been a problem for me.
If I had to guess, I'd say it's probably someone who has an expensive bike but doesn't use it(?). Or maybe someone who wears his gear everywhere.
I'm not even sure
how
to be a poseur vis-à-vis bike culture/lifestyle.
I've been seen riding a bike dressed like
Junior Samples
, so I think that shouldn't be a problem for me
