You do have a choice, you can choose to NOT get involved with local recreational rides whose rules you disagree with. Just ride by yourself and wear (or not wear) whatever you like. They don't owe you an explanation or a even a reason as to why they have the rules that they have, same as how I don't owe any cager a reason why I am on the road or why I'm wearing lycra. I'm allowed to be there and I'm there, if they don't like it because I might be out for 'recreation' and they think my lycra looks gay then tough *****.
