Are we going to argue about hipster clothing vs. lycra as well as bike lanes vs share the road? Lighten up, folks.

Europe IS different (see my Bremen post from back in March or so). Cities are small, gas is expensive, and the bicycle is simply another form of everyday transportation, not a fashion statement, avocation, or badge of “difference”. Normal clothing, whatever that means to each person, is the rule.

On the other hand, I’m about to go off to a fifty mile ride in the mountains. Those nifty threads won’t work today, but sure would be nice if I lived two km from work in a small Euro city instead of a hilly 8 km in the Western US. Um…as long as someone makes something that looks cool on a greying geezer rather than a “hipster”, whatever that is.

Keep the rubber side down, folks, and enjoy your duds.

Nothing is wrong with Lycra but some people simply don’t like it or would rather wear their every-day clothes when commuting — especially in an urban setting. Also, there was a link to a helmet in the opening paragraph. Certainly, helmet use is encouraged.

I realize that the whole point of this article is to make cyclists look like everyday people, but replacing the helmet and lycra with boutique fashion and hipster bikes is probably going to be just as alienating to the average joe.
