So I was riding my bike the other day and I came upon a family on bikes with a little boy dressed as a superhero. I thought, man, why is it okay for kids to dress like superheroes but adults can't get away with that.

Then I looked down at my cycling kit, and it made me laugh.

I think that's the real reason people love cycling. It's acceptable to dress in brightly colored spandex and speed around the city on flashy gear.
