i dont understand. i have been riding daily most of my life. i don't own any cycling specific clothing. i do have work and non work clothing, but depending on whether im working or not i wear both on my bikes. i don't clip in, but i have before. i agree with the bike snob, who cares? wear what you want, i am offended by neither. spandex is fine, so is no spandex. heels cool too, clogs boat shoes thongs or sidis fine with me. do what you want, and don't sweat the other people, unless they are naked. I draw the line there.
