It doesn't bother me a bit, nor does it seem anyone else cares. But it's worth noting that there are a lot of cyclists where I live and it's not at all unusual to see cyclists in all sorts of public places wearing cycling kit. It seems to me that it's not terribly unusual here, and no one really pays any attention to be honest.

99% of the time I'm in a "public" place in my cycling kit, I biked to get there. So I have helmet in hand and other accessories, living near Minneapolis, most people get it and the rest remain silent.
The other 1% makes me smile - I drive to gravel races in rural areas and I have a habit of hitting a McD's for a breakfast sandwich on the way to race. Walking in with kit to get my pre-race food, I know I get a lot of looks.
