I often wear Lycra clothing, and I don’t race. Lycra shorts in particular are commonly worn by many non-racers, including randonneurs.
The latest issue of American Randonneur has an advertisement from Boure cycling wear, and only one photo that I can find (of the dozens in the issue) that shows anyone riding in anything *but* standard (probably Lycra-based) shorts. For many people (including me), they are more comfortable on long rides than regular shorts. --Eric Norris Email: campyonly...@me.com Web: www.campyonly.com Blog: http://campyonlyguy.blogspot.com Twitter: @CampyOnlyGuy Flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/campyonlyguy On Jan 20, 2014, at 9:19 AM, Hugh Smitham <hughsmit...@gmail.com> wrote: > >Many people wear lycra cycling clothing for reasons that have nothing > >whatsoever to do with racing.
