Alot of people bash arospoks because they want everyone to know how untrendy they as fixed gear riders are. It's just a camoflaged version of hipster bashing, and it's dorky as all hell.
One could easily argue that flashy colours attract thieves, and hence, black is a functional choice.
Lycra is not work appropriate, makes carrying your wallet and keys more difficult, and is, in general, just not very functional when tooling around town.
