It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Anything that makes a cyclist look even more fucking ridiculous gets a green light for me. Grown men dressed in spandex with sperm shaped helmets is already hilarious. Add to that a fucking binbag...

What's nuts is they can spend thousands for the look.

Out of curiosity what is in the approved list of attire that you think is okay for “grown men” and what is in the unapproved list?

I'm not here to police anyone's styling. I'm not exactly a snazzy dresser myself. If you re-read my post I'm actively encouraging alternative clothing. I just think spandex is a wild choice. I get you can go faster...
