Worked great. Mostly though I'm riding for significantly less than 3 hours so normal clothes and shoes make a lot more sense.
Okay, well I think it's not very fair to judge people clicking around in their shoes and looking like dorks in their spandex if they just finished a long ride.
My commute to work is an hour each way, and my weekend rides are usually between 3 and 4 hours. I'm still doing it in sneakers, but not for long. As for the spandex, you can pry it from my cold, dead hands.
