The article has a few good points - I also got a comment in there:
"The old guys in lycra who menace Australia are definitely on the wrong
track. It's time to get cyclists off our roads"

"When the author is male, it's either homophobia..."
There is no such thing as homophobia. A phobia is an irrational fear
of something. People who dislike fudgepackers do so because they don't
think it's a very good idea for men to put their penises in shit. They
feel that the buttfuckers are really screwed up because they never
learned which is the correct orifice for sexual intercourse. Far from
being irrational, this is an entirely rational viewpoint. "Homophobia"
is just a term concocted by the gays in order to take control of our
language, so as to make it appear that no opposition to buttfucking
could conceivably be rational or logical. Whenever I hear the term
"homophobia", I know it emanates from a gay pedophile propagandist who
is trying to convince everyone that it is perfectly normal to be gay,
at the same time he attempts to seduce young boys.

Because it can look absolutely bizarre and comical to the wider
non-cycling population? and to some of the cycling population
too I would guess. It is possible to recognize the benefits of
cycling clothing and still understand how it might work as an
alienating force. Bike-specific clothing has been alienating
cyclists from the wider population since bikes were invented.
At the beginning, when riding a bicycle was almost exclusively
a leisure activity for the rich, bike clothes functioned in two ways--
they made cycling a bit easier and they set cyclists still
further apart as the elitists they were.

Let's get real here Jim. The only people who are working on
their bikes are the practitioners of industrialized cycling:
pro racers and messengers.

Well, I've seen lots of recreational riders, thousands, in fact, climbing
lots of hills in high temps on lots of rides like RAGBRAI, MS150, you name
it, etc. They might not be gettin' paid....but they workin', baybee. :-)

Why do so many articles about cycling and road sharing issues veer off into
discussions about cycling gear. Cycling clothing is designed to help riders
ride 100+ miles in 100+ heat at high speed and still stay somewhat dry and
cool while not rubbing off layers of skin during the repetitive motions of
cycling. The benefits are also useful for less aggressive recreational
cyclists. The clothing is optional but the bottom line is that they are work
clothes. I guess if you don't understand the work you won't understand the
clothes.

When the author is male, it's either homophobia or jealousy of our great
bodies. When female, it's titillation :-)
