Why do the have to dress like faaaaggots?
The tight spandex/lycra clothing actually is functional on a couple of levels.
1. Moisture wicking
2. Aerodynamics. Somewhere above 15 mph wind resistance starts to really come into play.
3. Bright colors make them more noticeable to cell phone zombies and others on the road.
4. For some it almost seems to be status signaling. Some of the road bike group are very much elitist and look down on guys like me. They even have a term for us "Freds". A .
