On a serious note, are you one of those biking queers that wear the whole ridiculous get up? I run about 40 miles a week but do own a bike as well. And when I do ride it, I don't feel the need to stuff myself in a loud, tacky-as-hell spandex shirt and micro shorts. I ride in athletic shorts and a breathable top.

I live in the northwest and the roads are full of fat, out of shape people everywhere looking like retarded as they go on their 20 minute bike ride with fat rolled cottage cheese spilling out of their spandex. What the hell is that all about? And before you start in on this whole "it's so we can stay aerodynamic and stuff", spare me. You're out on a Sunday afternoon, you're 60 pounds overweight and you're not racing in the Tour de France.

They're posers with nothing better to do with their money.

I hated the tight-fitting spandex at first. Then, I went on my first 20 mile ride and learned quickly the reason for the tight fit. Flapping fabric is annoying and starts to rub your skin raw after about 15 miles.

I also hated all the loud, flashy colors...until this buck-toothed Hungarian bitch driving a huge SUV wasn't paying attention and almost killed me.

Ride for more than 10 miles at a time in regular shorts and the sores that develop on your arse will keep you from taking a shite for 2 weeks. You'll be willing to pay $200 for a good pair after that.

I get what you're saying, and I thought the same thing until I actually got serious about it and realized the reasons behind the fheggotty-looking madness.

Fair enough.

Yeah, my average ride is about 15 miles and I've not done longer than 25 yet. I just go out for an hour when my knee is feeling especially sore and I need a break from running. My arse was super sore the first few times but I just toughed it out and now it's not too bad. But I can't imagine riding more than 20 miles on a consistent basis without some sort of padding.

As far as the bright colors, I can see that. Biking up here is much more accepted up here and I (would like to) think looking out for bicyclists is on drivers' minds.
