My theory has always been I don't care what I look like. I look at it this way, its no secret that I am fat, everyone knows I am fat so it should be no surprise if a jersey hugs my beer belly a little bit. Am I working on being skinnier yes, will I ever be a lean 160 pounds no, at 4% bodyfat I would probably be 198ish unless I stop lifting which would affect my abilities as a wrestling coach. Anyway wear what is comfortable, I like to wear baggies and xmart brand coolmax type tshirts, if Im riding a century I wont think twice about wearing spandex and a jersey although I buy a bigger more generous cut performance jersey. And the heck with anyone who yells something from a car they are in a car and you are out there working out.
Oh and I must add this because this forum will appreciate it but I just put 1.5 inch slicks on my MTB and man is that thing fun now and oh so fast, I will definitley be using it in an alleycat in 2 weeks.

And who are you riding for? Just feel good that if you look funny and someone laughs at you, you may be a small ray of sunshine in their dark, dark day.--- and I am selling the Brooklyn Bridge, cheap!
