Bikes: Converted 1997 Trek Singletrack 930 singlespeed and a Kona Lavadome singlespeed, fixed Dahon folding bike, fixed 27" Miyata road bike, early 70's Raleigh Chopper

I've got a pair of Reebok cycling shorts with a gel-like chamois that I sport under a pair of camo or cut off cargo pants. Pair that off with a wicking shirt of some kind purchased from Marshalls or TJ Maxx and I'm set. I have nothing against lycra-clad road warriors (unless they're of the full team outfit with matching bike who stand around talking **** about their last big ride) but I don't think anyone wants to see all of me stuffed into some type of sausage skin, overweight Tron-looking person riding a fixed gear around town. I definitely wouldn't want to see that!! Go Lance Go! I've gotta get me a USPS (or Discovery for next year) jersey. BTW my whole family is sporting the yellow bands. Good cause but to see the $1 bands on sale on ebay is a bit disturbing. I guess that's capitalism at work eh?
