Fair enough.. I guess because I'm designer I tend to look at the aesthetic quality more than anything else and being "loud and proud" or "colorful" isn't something I aim for.. therefore it gets rejected immediately. I've got some ideas on how to bridge the gap though and I'm actively working on it.
Fair enough.
My off-the-bike wardrobe tends to be more form-fitting (because I like my body), but not "loud" (I prefer earth tones).
But having once been an overweight corporate clone who wore nothing but a gray or navy blue suit and tie to 10+ years of boring meetings, the chance to wear loud "super-hero" clothing on the bike seems to me a celebration of life and fitness. I could buy more subdued bike clothing, but I much prefer my local race team kit, and my jerseys celebrating some of the places I've cycled (including Colorado, the Death Ride, Alpe d'Huez, etc.).
