I think there is a larger number of bent riders who wear street clothes than the upright riders, or the street-type clothing more adapted to cycling, but most seasoned, and higher performance bent folks are still in lycra. It's not just fashion, there are real benefits to lycra.

Great article, but it still didn't work on the wife. She's determined to keep riding the wedgie. Sad!

Now, now, we may be enlightened recumbent folk here but we don't discriminate against our df riding brethren. All cycling is good, so let the wife ride what she enjoys. She might come around one day but it will all still be ok even if she doesn't. :D
