Just visit any beach in the Southeast during the summer and you won't much worry about what you look like any longer!
Also, the older I get, the less I care what anyone else thinks. I'm not "shopping around" or trying to impress the girls or anyone else. I make a stop, nobody knows me, what do I care if they think I look like a dork, they're not part of my life & I'm never going to see them again.

I mean, I'm modest enough that I don't wear shorts (like some younger cyclists around here) that are virtually see through so motorist following are subject to your butt crack showing. I do wear cycling gear that covers.

But the harsh reality to those of you in fantasy land...here it comes... NO ONE looks GOOD in Lycra!

If I stop at a bakery or DunkinDonuts or a Convenience Store to grab something quick I'll walk in with what I'm wearing. However, I don't think I'd walk into a restaurant and sit down for a meal without changing or covering up my riding attire with another shorts/shirt. But then, I'm one who is irritated by men who wear a hat into restaurants and don't remove it at the table.
