Sorry you feel this way. All that matters is that you ride and enjoy yourself. You don't need the fancy jersey or shorts to ride your bike. I used to ride with someone who would always pick on me because my shirt/jersey did not match my gloves or my helmet. Give me a break..I don't care if they don't match. From my name you can probably assume that I ride alone, well I do. I am not a member of any clubs or teams. Just enjoy being outside.
