My gym is way too hot in the winter, so I wear a colorful sports bra and shorts when I work out. I figure if someone does not want to see my muffin top, they can turn the heat down, and get the added bonus of a lower utility bill while they're at it.

When I went to traffic court last year to fight the "cyclist impeding traffic by riding two abreast" ticket, I wore a sweater and corduroy pants with loafers. I was dressed better than everyone else there, except for one of the cycling club members who accompanied me. He wore a suit, because he was also attending a funeral that day.

I don't see many men cycling without a shirt. Or maybe I just don't notice them. I'd rather see someone with moobs or other lumpy areas getting out and being active than sitting on the couch. Sometimes on the bike trail I will see an obese person who looks a little shaky and tentative, like they're just getting used to cycling for the first time in a long time, and I think, good for you, I hope you enjoy it.
