If you're just popping down to the shops or round to a friend/relative/whatever, ordinary clothing is fine, but if you're commuting a reasonable distance at a decent speed, say 5 miles upwards, lycra is designed for the purpose. But, if you are happy with non-specific clothing, then go with it. Me, I stick to lycra, even tho' it's less than flattering to my ageing frame.
As for worrying about what people think, why bother?
Hey, what about your colonials north of the 49th! Many of us are into lycra too!
