So yeah it looks stupid to those who dont ride, but they do actually serve many a purpose.... |
see now i disagree.
1. shirt...pretty breathable, did a good good job when i came off.
2. cycling pants.......breathable and held up very well, i can also have a coffee with my mates and not thrust my fruit in their latte
