"you look like a peruvian bike herder" -- a friend said this last night. i had a baja on... that's about all i can figure prompted her saying that.

just gets old. and the thing is, i just wear tights under baggy shorts, a slim Marmot jacket (or baja), reflective sunglasses, and a helmet. and somehow this get-up conveys that i'm prepared for anything.
LOL I know what you mean, I dress about the same...but I guess our "look" conveys "I'm hard core take notice" or something....if these people are all so fascinated with cyclists, why don't they get there own darn bike and stop staring! :-) (or at least notice us on the road!)
