     Oh, I know.  It's just that the tight-fitting clothing with all the 
adversising looks a bit silly.  I carry a bright orange vest to use if I have 
to be in dense traffic, but most of my cycling is along residential streets.

     The only tight clothing I have for cycling is a pair of short liners, 
which I use if I'm going on a long trip, such as 20 miles or more.  They reduce 
the friction and provide more seat padding.
