Most folks in the U.S. only ride for recreation and feel the need to dress like they're riding in the TDF. I wear khakis, wicking tees and dress shirts everyday and my co-workers can't believe I rode to work in those??? When it gets hot/humid, I leave a few dress shirts at work and just wear the tees when I ride.
