Cycle Fashion Victims
I am not going to pull any punches with this article, and allow me to begin here with this statement: cycle clips are nerdy, unforgivable, and a crime against humanity when worn by all but the fittest of most delectable babes. When I see someone wearing cycle clips I want to stop them, shake them, and scream in their face to take them off at once and burn them. It drives me crazy! The worst thing is that usually, nine times out of ten, cycle clip wearing people also wear all those reflective strips and things. In extreme cases the look (if you can call it that, which I’m not sure you can) goes a few steps too far, with a massive reflective jacket, cycle clips and four sets of lights joining together to create an intense and infuriating moving beacon that threatens to blind anyone within a five metre radius–
The problem is this: reflective clothes have been the same since the dawn of time. And since fashion icons aren’t exactly the kind to wheel about on push-bikes, that’s probably going to be the way it will stay for the rest of eternity. So I propose this to any fashion gurus who might be reading (fat chance, I know, but I have to try): please, do us a favour and design some reasonably fashionable stuff for these people to wear. Go on, do us a favour. Vivian Westwood could really do something good, I’m sure of it.
Until then we must take it upon ourselves, dear reader, to try and change the fate of reflective clothes. I’m not saying don’t wear them, but what I am saying is wear them and try to wear them a little cooler. Is that too much to ask? Why not experiment and customize. Put us out of our misery!
Good news everyone, I’ve been paid for that last freelance job that I did, you all know what that means, it’s about time to hit the store and pick up that new Garmin forerunner 305 that I have been waiting to get. Flavell, are you up for a quality time this weekend?
