The other day I was chatting with a guy as I got my bike ready for my ride home. I was in my bike clothes. He commented: "You know, when I see people on bikes in normal clothes, not wearing lycra, I always think they're alcoholics." I said something inane and escaped. ?!?!

So people, if you wear your jeans while riding, watch out -- apparently only alcoholics do that. Presumably because they don't have driver's licenses? Or can't afford a car?
