With my middle-aged Clyde-esque 'aerobelly', I HATE looking like a stuffed sausage in Lycra... I prefer loose-fitting comfort![/QUOTE]
I would feel restricted and perhaps even claustrophobic in tight lycra or spandex. Love baggy shorts and clothes.
I hope nobody gets upset at me, I also love to ride with my shirt off. Partially because I have SAD and partially because the sun really energizes me and soaks into my soul.
When the sun's out , my shirt comes off,especially when I ride my bike. I need that sun like water.
I've tried to explain to neighbors and friends, and even apologize, but you cannot do that going down the bike lane on a heavily packed road.
