    Hi,

    I'm fishing for the contact details of keen and fashion-conscious cyclists for some marketing spam.

    I've been told (rightly or wrongly) that they are a greedy and gullible lot and will do anything for the real or imagined chance of winning a brightly coloured lycra top.

    If you are one such, I'd appreciate it if you'd email me on surelyyousawthisforwhatitwas@email.co.uk

    Many thanks and massive respect from another stylish cyclist.

    You can pick whatever you want to wear and think you're stylish in your cycling kit. Fact is, if you and another cyclist both rode down the street and the other guy with you was in your eyes 'not stylish' all the non-cyclists in that street will see no difference. Plus, a bunch of them will look at you equally and think 'look at those complete nobs wrapped in spandex'.

    Of course, there's stylish kit appealing to different cyclists tastes and cyclists choose what they like most but pretty much nobody but another cyclist would ever notice it at all. If you don't wear spandex yourself you're never going to look at a cyclist and think 'he looks good'.
