Dayum, Doc. Those are oars, not shoes. Those are for paddling, not pedaling.

I miss the good ol' days when men were men and wore respectable, dignified cycling apparel...

...or polka dots.

People here have posted Greg Lemond in the iconic La Vie Claire jersey and Eddy Merckx in the Maglia Rosa as evidence of old school "bad taste." :rolleyes:

Meanwhile others seems to have un-ironically suggested Primal Wear. (Maybe I misunderstood that one).

Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and ignore the fashion advice in this thread.

You've obviously mistaken me as someone who gives a **** what you think.

I do care. You gotta care about how you look on the bike. I spend a good amount of time riding. I want people to stop and turn as I ride my bike by them and say, "that guy looks good". I take suntan rides. Long slow rides at midday to catch some rays. Don't want to have pastey white legs. I'm so vain and enjoy it. I have no desire to ride like Eddy...I just want to look like Eddy. Great pic above.

Not to your face anyway.

Yeah. Because those denim shorts were stylin'.

I kind of like how the cycling costume looks in the mirror. Except for the mis-paired shoes I wore one day, but honestly I couldn't see those in the mirror.

I bet you didn't even know he could ski.

You're so vain you probably think this post is about you.

I read this post the other day and before I went out for a ride I did look in the mirror...and changed!
