why do you need to look like a giant clingfilmed-sausage?

I think enough people have seen enough cyclists that a person in lycra on a bike now just looks like a cyclist.

I'd go further than that - the public think cyclists look ****ing stupid, baggies don't suddenly make you look 'normal' in the eyes of non-cyclists. It's just insecure mountain bikers who feel the need for baggies.

I don't care what a bloke sat in a Vauxhall Vectra thinks one bit.

jonba- but you are at the serious end of a particular hobby. You probably podium in amateur races hence the hardwork whereas for people like us its cross-training. If I go to the swimming pool its to knock out a fair few lengths to aid other sports/fitness/health/relaxation. You are comparing baggies etc/your situation to me diving in and nailing the lengths in my pool.

WTF?

Are you saying you wear board shorts when you go and do a few lengths then? Not sure of your point.

I think you've selectively (mixed a) context there.
