That's the reason I took up cycling...all the fit guys in tight lycra shorts with their muscular shaved legs. Wait....did I say that out loud???

I'm self-conscious around non-cyclists when I'm wearing my cycling clothes, ie. leaving work for a ride. I wear baggy shorts over the lycra. But I've noticed that I get more "strange" looks when a cyclist sees me in my baggies than when I'm just in lycra. It's like you only get noticed if you AREN'T in lycra.

You'll never go back to riding with anything over your bike shorts. Good move!
