Riding without the proper clothing

[andrew_rc46]

I picked up my defy today, i actually managed a 2mile blast before it went dark! but felt really stupid, i was wearing trainers,tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt. (helmet too)
How do you guys feel about this?

Seems pretty bold to me.

I went out on mine today to price a job . I was wearing jeans , trainers and a windproof jacket that was undone to let the wind in . I smoked a roadie on Richmond hill and got a PR at the same time . I did sweat buckets when I got to the job though !
If I want to nip out on any of my bikes I will do it dressed as I want . If I know im going to be riding hard then I will dress up like a nobber and feel good for my ride .

There is no "proper clothing" for cycling. I wouldn't suggest flip-flops or a long skirt that might get caught in the wheel but otherwise you can wear what you like.

I like riding in my work clothes the best because people think ohh a tradesman going to & from work. This is instead of look at that wiggo wannabe knobbed holding up the traffic.

It's ok, this is CC not http://www.velominati.com/the-rules/.

I do not own a single item of cycle-specific clothing - I wear a mixture of non-specific sports and outdoor wear, ski base layers in winter, and normal clothes.

Mind you, I don't cycle very fast either, but that's on purpose!

No one cares what your wearing. Wear what you want, not what you think others may think you should wear. Why did you feel stupid? Lots of people cycle wearing similar gear.

As a 55 year old Male, I can also avow that I do not wear long skirts when cycling!

Same here . My jeans are covered in paint and the like . It cracks me up to let the roadie go first at the lights and then smoke them when it gets a bit tough . I even hang back far enough so its clear im not drafting them .
But when I am in my roadie gear I think people like me are twats

heh, for a couple of miles it really doesn't matter

If I'm just out casually, I'm not gonna get lycra-d up to do 5mph with my 5yr old Nephew If I'm out for a proper ride, lycra is much much better to ride in.
