@jemmesedi @pixelcats I prefer cargo shorts (not the full-length pants) over those boots, to be honest.

Cargo shorts are a huge part of cycling culture here.

Well, I suppose maybe possibly cargo shorts have some sort of function when one is cycling.*

If that is the case, I'll give them a pass in that context.

@jemmesedi @pixelcats My objection to Chelsea boots is that they are 100% associated with the white middle class to me. That's all I ever saw wearing them in my youth and I just can't take them seriously as a result. 😆

@jemmesedi @pixelcats Honestly almost any guy in lycra who isn't actively competing somewhere is grounds for giggling for me. Unless you're training for the Olympics (or equivalent) when cycling, lycra just makes you look like a buffoon as far as I'm concerned.
