Speaking for myself and no one else, it wasn't the OP that I found offensive.
But whatev'.

I agree. And I truly apologize if anyone was offended by what I wrote or thought that I was being judgmental. I was just trying to offer my own perspective - which I freely admit is my issue. I ride, I will keep riding. And for the most part, I won't care what others think. Maybe the comments got me at a bad time - some of the ones that bugged me I *know* were not intended to be offensive.

If I was going to choose a sport based on the uniform, I'd choose baseball. Who doesn't look good in jammies? And so comfy.

To be honest I always wanted to figure skate just so I could wear the costumes! It was the secret princess-fantasy that I always hid.

Ha!
I was a figure skater in elementary school and now, when I look at pictures of some of my "costumes," I wonder how much my parents spent on that? I loved my outfits then as much as I love my cycling, running, and snow sports gear now.2015 Trek Silque SSL

I suppose this one has been so viral already that no one thought we needed to link to it on TE, but this thread is a good place for (Ann Arbor) Pinckney High School's homecoming queen:

Bike clothes do look funny. Loud colored jerseys and spandex would make anyone laugh and look twice. I look at myself and wonder if anyone that passes me on the road is laughing really hard at mine. Then I see others cycling down the highway to Lincoln and think about how cool they look on their bike. I aso wonder how they got to be in the middle of nowhere on the highway 50 miles out from Lincoln and hope they can get back.
