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.

See, if you run, I have nothing to say but
I HATE running. It makes me feel like I was overrun by a multitude of long-haul trucks, 400 head of cattle, and The List Eater. My knees, joints, and back just suffer too much for it to be effective.
I can go much longer on a bike and on a weekend ride, I will burn 3,500 calories or more. Other than swimming, cycling is the best form of activity to improve and maintain physical conditioning with the least amount of degenerative impact.
The worst? Running.
It sucks to be old.

The only gear that I will get is the biking shorts with pads in them. I have had a few pairs and I almost cannot ride without them.
I always wear something over them and usually wear some kind of bright or white dry fit shirt.
