Problem with the baggies is that they get hung up on the saddle too often. Spandex is not a problem and are a darn sight more comfortable, If you really want to look a prat though, get them in bright lurid colours and in a size that are just a tad too small. The overstretching makes them opaque, and gives the bikers behind you a bloody good reason to overtake you, which improves your fitness and speed as you try to catch them up.
