I often stop at a nice little place (Stella Public House near downtown San Antonio) on Saturday or Sunday afternoon in whatever I wear to ride (they have a great beer selection). I had on spandex shorts and a muscle shirt the last time, and no one gave me a second glance or acted weird.
That's because you have a city nearby whose unofficial motto is "Keep Austin Weird". Your spandex and muscle shirt doesn't even register on the scale....
