hopefully not a hijack -
22 European riders came over this summer and rode across the country on velomobiles. I went down to Umatilla to meet them. It was very hot and they spent the day in the gorge with little shade and a lot of miles to ride. The first one in (Stephen?) pedaled up and hopped out - wearing very small very tight underwear. He and I chatted for 45 min before the next rider pulled in. He emptied the cloths that he'd been shedding over the day's ride - shorts, T-shirt, etc. as we chatted. He never did anything to cover up, just chatted and hung out and ate the watermelon I brought the guys...
The European mentality is very different and I think perhaps not wrong. Of course in a velo, you can't see the rider below the neck at all. So, stripping down to your undies on such a hot day was probably a good idea. The not covering up as soon as you get into camp and chat with a new woman you've never met is definitely European.
