Well, I guess I'll weigh in...

My commute is around 21 miles, I just ordered a Rivendell Bleriot so I've been reading a LOT of Riv stuff lately. I like wearing my lycra stuff, although I have been just doing the normal shorts/shirt thing when going to the bookstore/Trader Joes.

Now, I will admit I like my lycra collection...no, I LOVE my lycra collection! I love all the colors and designs, especially the Salsa jerseys! I also have my USCG kit to show my pride. Also, I will admit I like the feeling of inclusion or "being in the clique" when wearing my cycling specific clothes, it does make me feel kind of special and who doesn't want to have that feeling?

In another country, on a full tour going through small towns (dueling banjos...), or riding over to church I may have a different opinion.

Anyway, that's my .02
