One should always travel with a lampshade in case a riotous party breaks out...

The utility cyclists I see have looks that range from high tech to low tech and I figure I sit somewhere in the middle of that...

One thing I do see is that there is less snobbery among this group of cyclists as we are all out there doing something we see as being important for ourselves and our own little corners of the world ans appreciate other people who are doing the same.

I see much more snobbery among extreme road bikers and mountain bikers.
