funny how in the road bike forums, roadies who do not wear lycra are scoffed at as being "freds"
While I agree with the spirit of your post, I never saw anyone in Paris riding in anything but street clothes as they COMMUTED.

The French National bike team kit has a reflecting stripe running parallel to one's arse. Very effective at being seen, though. I at first thought the stripe to be some kind of flashing light attached to one's saddle. No it is attached to one's arse in a most embarassing manner. Oh, well, I am sure the Italians are even more blatant.
