Sometimes there's quite a bit of "tribalism mentality" in cycling -- you have to dress a certain way, or the bike has to look a certain way or you have to behave a certain way on the bike....when in actual fact the minute you jump on the bike and start pedaling, all these B.S. just kinda fade into the background, and become secondary...
That's why I like to post videos of my group rides because it clearly shows that in reality, we come in different shapes and sizes, there's no one size fits all.
