Cool to be Fred

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I don't wear team kits but black bib shorts and a bike jersey is the way to go.

The bib shorts offer padding and hides my gut. The shirt has pockets and keeps you cool.

I think the hipster look is silly.
