Whether one chooses to wear lycra, wool, themed jerseys, London Fog jackets, togas, cycling-specific shoes or sandals - or not - shouldn't be a point of divisiveness.
It has always struck me that the point was to break down the elitism of opinion which said that to be a "serious" cyclist, you had to be kitted up. There's no point in engaging in that rigidity of opinion from the other end of the spectrum. The original point of the thread - or at least the UnRacer ideal - was that professional racing supplied the model for how we were supposed to engage in cycling - the the detriment of enjoyment and the exclusion of most folks. I mean, I remember when baggy shorts for mountain biking was a pretty radical idea. It makes sense to me that you choose what to wear based on what you want to wear - guided by where you will ride, what you'll do along the way and what is comfortable to you. If it gets you happily out on the bike, that's really the point. - Jim / cyclofiend.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
