If you are going out on a sport ride lyrca is perfect. If you are Touring then lycra or some more Rivendell style stuff is perfect (depends on you), and if you are riding your bike around town to different places all day because you don't drive - then this style of bike fashion is perfect. I have full lycra kits for sport and practical around town clothes for normal riding days. Do I really need to pick a side? It's simple. If you are going out on a sport ride lyrca is perfect.

I often like to dress cute--not always with the current fashion--and I like doing it on my bicycle too! But like everyone else, some days I just wear what's comfortable and functional. Fashion and style should be fun. Wear what you like! Afro Biker: You don't have to be fashionable when you ride a bike, any more than you have to be fashionable any other time.

Talk of modeling and runways inspired me to quote a line from "Zoolander". Worth renting and even buying if you haven't seen it. "Orange Mocha Frappuccino!!!!" #15 patrickz,
