We'll see. No, actually in my area (Calgary) people tend to be more helmet oriented and wear some cycling garment at times. We have lousier cycling infrastructure, compared to Vancouver.
I agree, I've always believed there was peaceful co-existence between cycling gear and cycling chic and everything else in between. But there are some vocal cycling chic folks in some other areas of the world, who keep saying or think that wearing cycling clothing is a bit elitist because it costs money.
That's why I wrote the blog post...to say that how cycling clothing actually saves me money for my whole overall streetwear and business wear wardrobe.
