Just because it suddenly got all springlike it does not mean that shorts are acceptable. If your legs haven't been exposed to sunlight in this calendar year, now is not the time to unleash them on the innocent unexpecting public*. Gym time does NOT count as sunlight.
Westcoasters you're probably in the clear on this and if helps in building your Ark so be it.
That is all.
*these rules do not apply to Walmerters. Anything goes there anyway but light springtime colored pajamas should be considered.

(36,444 posts)It's really uncomfortable sitting in the cafe trying to enjoy my croissant and cappuccino when the other cyclists start debating the merits of Chamois Buttr® over Boudreaux's Original Butt Paste. Then inevitably, some asshole butts in and starts raving about Assos Chamois Cream. At that point, I step outside and think about taking up golf.

(182,830 posts)I used to mountain bike. Several friends still do and one actually makes a good living in th cycling industry (Trek).
Yes it is an interesting obsession.

(36,444 posts)years before they even called them mountain bikes; I called my invention a monster bike.
While one of the central figures in the development of mountain biking was still in high school, I built it in his father's machine shop. I'm guessing he was looking at what I was doing, and liked it.
I still have it, but it will go to the Marin Bicycle Museum when I'm done with it.
Obsession? I still build two or three bikes a year, searching for the ultimate road/townie crossover. And until I find it, I have to maintain a stable of fifteen bikes.

(36,444 posts)The crazy guy had 87 serious bling bikes in his stable. Bummer, I discovered when they went to auction, they were all, like, 50cm - 54cm.

(37,161 posts)...but considering that this is the only sort of weather where my complexion knows anything between "mackerel-pale" and "lobster-red", this sort of talk might bring out my ornery side and be counterproductive to your cause.
