so when I go to the city this saturday what should I wear so I don't look out of place? I was thinking a pair of cargo shorts with some kinda graphic tee in a light colour as to not attract the sun's rays which would inevitably make me hot. And what shoes? Should I stick with my pumas, or where my pony's? How about my Keds? And should I use my MEC backpack to carry my wife's purchased goods, or should I buy a messenger bag? And then if I do buy a messenger bag what brand of messenger bag should I get? Should my main criteria be a stash pocket? And how do I go about finding the stash pocket? And then what happens if we eat at a restaurant? Will my outfit be good enough to get a table? Do I need to bring a separate "eating out" outfit? Should I buy one? If I buy a messenger bag and pass some messenger folk, will they call me a posenger for using a messenger bag off my bike and even though I used to be a messenger? Oh the horror...the decisions...
Someone should really come up with some do's and don'ts regarding way of dress for on and off the bike fixed riders.
BTW, is Gray's Papaya far off of Broadway? My wife is craving some of their coconut juice drink stuff. Maybe that'll be our first stop, and then head to Canal St. and work our way up Broadway towards Times Square.
