Now you are saying somebody can't wear a cowboy outfit because they are not chasing Indians. And you are saying that a bike rider should wear proper protective gear, which is in fact a "uniform" of most crotch rocket riders.

Fun troll though.
I didn't say bike riders shouldn't wear proper safety gear, I said they look silly when they try to look like they are in the Tour de France. The reason the professionals wear the skin tight stuff is for aerodynamics.

Most of these people riding around cities wearing their whole stylish gett up likely don't get over 15mph. Meaning they don't need the fancy pants that make them look silly they could wear normal clothes and ride their bikes just fine..

As for cowboy outfits, I never said people can't wear them, I said they look like a clown. Why do people still dress up like cowboys when there hasn't been any real cowboys in a 150 years or more.

Might as well dress up like a pirate. I mean really does this look any less silly than dressing up as a pirate?
