That's a grossly oversimplified and inaccurate summary the "context":

1) What I didn't understand was why a very particular group of cyclists dons full race gear: those riding on MUP's at lunch hour.

2) Caloso's first "because" was terse and did not answer my root question to my satisfaction. "Because it's comfortable". That's why asked for additional clarification which I received and was grateful for.

3) I said that I am sweatier than most people. That's a pretty far cry from "my xyz is as bad as it gets".

I've felt as though you've been putting words into my mouth throughout our entire exchange in this thread. Your mind reading could use a little work in my opinion.
