Daniel, I think it's awesome that they're out on a bike...I do think it's weird that they feel compelled to wear tight fitting clothing to get out and ride a bike for what ever reason, maybe it's a need to fit in isn't that our nature as human beings to fit in? It's sort of a built in survival thing. If I'm being truly honest I feel it boarders on the ridiculous. I'm skinny and I always felt sort of weird running around with a super hero outfit where you could sort of see my junk. I since have seen the light and realize I can wear regular clothes to enjoy a bike ride and not subject folks to unseemly protrusions. Just so you know I'm attempting to be self deprecating here. My comments are 90% meant for humorous purposes only and a dash of reality thrown in.
I do really feel for folks that are overweight it happen IMHO to be a recent cultural thing eating crap food being sedentary watching sports and others being active on the TV and in some cases it's a medical condition that requires a physician supervision. Furthermore and seriously other overweight folks may see the Lycra wearing variety and think there is no way in hell I'm gonna wear that to ride a bike and just give up on a fantastic activity. Racing has infected the overall consciousness IMO negatively. It's this stupid competitive chip we carry around that prevents a bulk of society to slow down and enjoy the ride. There my rant is over for now, but I reserve the right to get chippy again. ~Hugh "Life is like riding a bicycle.
