Maybe it's just me, but..

Sometimes I think that specialized cycling clothes,
like this guy's, are a little over the top!

Hard to tell here, but that is a yellow CAPE, and
yes, he's wearing a pair of underwear on the outside.

I'm afraid I won't be able to comment on this one. I tried to think of something to say for a second too long and my brain went into self-diagnostic mode. It'll be a good twenty minutes and most likely I won't remember what I was looking at.

Very curious! Hopefully the underpants would prevent this sort of problem:http://www.pbase.com/johnwaine/image/45074941 !!LOL

LOL!!
is that the green jersey (or yellow cape) for the tour de san diego?! :D

Great capture!!
And after watching you with the camera, he was crashed on a pole!!!
Guest 25-Sep-2007 20:12
VEry nice capture. His outfit is quite interesting and his hair too. There's one thing I think he forgot. To design his bike. :)

But, that outfit was on sale at Wal-Mart and besides..all the cool bikers are wearing them..

:o)

LOL, I agree with Cindi, you live in California, you have diversity there like no other state! This is also a great shot technically to Gary, nice motion to it. Cindy.

Terrific portrait! Look at those tatoos!!!
shatterbug25-Sep-2007 06:51
Lol, call the fashion police :-) Fun shot!

Forget the rider (easy to do) look at the bike. Minimilist at its best. No rear brake ?
Or does it have a pedal backwards brake. These are virtually unknown in England.
Guest 25-Sep-2007 04:45
He definitely does not go un-noticed!
coaster25-Sep-2007 04:03
Good shot!

That's a really cool fixed gear bike!

The underwear helps break the wind resistance. You know what I mean?
Cindi Smith25-Sep-2007 00:37
You LIVE in California, Gary!!!! You should be used to this by now. I saw a guy on Hollywood Blvd with a TV strapped to his head riding a bike....this one totally cracks me up but if he did this in Fort Worth, I'm afraid he'd be getting shot at! LOL!
Robin Reid25-Sep-2007 00:14
LOL @ J. Scott. Fun catch. Did this outfit help him go further/faster?
J. Scott Coile24-Sep-2007 22:20
Maybe he's a super hero off the clock ;-)

He's probably on his way to his job as a sandwichboard holder on Main St ;>)) God help us if he's a brain surgeon.. LOL!!

I could tell by the graffiti on his arms that over-the-top is part of the program.
Greg Harp24-Sep-2007 21:06
Outstanding candid Gary. Made me chuckle. :) v

Are you sure he wasn't auditioning somewhere nearby for "Who Wants to Be a Superhero?"
