Yes.

I also wear a whole new set of gear when I go out on the town.

A different set for work.

A different set for the beach.

A different set to friend's house.

A different set to a meeting.

If I wear my work clothes on my bike commute, the chances are good that they'll be drenched with either rain or sweat 10 months out of the year, and that they'll get chain lube or tire dirt on them 12 months out of the year. Because I'm a grownup, with a grownup job, I do what prevents that. Your objection to my wearing cycling clothes while cycling, and work clothes while working, would be what, exactly? That I'm a conformist?

Yeah, that's me. The only bike commuter in the entire company is a conformist.



It's a bike-neutral article overall. It's not about bikes. It's about accessorizing your yellow doofus shirt and your stupid-expensive shoes with something Dutch.
