So I'm not cycling in ordinary street clothes/chic

[PamNY]

I truly can't fathom paying attention to what anybody wears on a bike. Except for a helmet, of course, but even that is their problem, not mine.

And I agree with Eden -- is it even worth biking 2 miles? I'd use my Xootr for that.

I want to be visible and safe and comfortable. I've never been fashion-conscious in any aspect of my life, so why would I start with bikes? As for helmets, I've cracked my head good once already; a second time would not be pretty. I'll wear my helmet and keep my brain intact, thankyouverymuch.

Really, though, people should wear what they want and not fuss over what other people wear.

There it is.

For me, I wear my work clothes and tennies, and once in a blue moon a helmet. Work is 2 miles away down a series of side streets.

Love my Xootr!

And really, stop worrying about what you wear and arguing with strangers about it on the internet. There are more important things in life. http://xkcd.com/386/
