My son wear his riding apparel 24/7 and does not want to wear anything else. He wears shorts,jerseys,warmers, rain gear instead of a suit and tie. He rides to work on a bicycle instead of a car and keeps wearing that garbage I wonder do you think he's nuts ?

He might be, or he might just be an avid cyclist. My husband used to be one.

Guys like familiar and comfortable clothes.If you can't persuade him to wear something else, as long as it no for inapproiate for a function (e.g. wedding...lol!) I'd leave him alone.

Let him be who he is. Obviously he loves cycling. Maybe instead of being so critical you could support him in something that he obviously enjoys. Who cares what others think of him, that shouldn't matter.

As I write this, I am still wearing my bike shorts and matching shirt. They're just so comfortable. Don't be upset about your son wearing his cycling apparel 24/7. My hubby is an architect and he rides his bike to work and wears bike clothes a lot, too. So far, no one has complained.

I definitely would not call his clothes garbage. If he is clean and neat it should not really matter what he is wearing as long as it does not interfere with his job. I think he is very smart to ride a bicycle instead of a car. A lot more people should follow in his suit. You should be very proud of him and encourage him to stay healthy, keep exercising and not try to be like everyone else. My husband never wore a suit unless he had to. He worked 30 years at the same job and walked or rode a bicycle when ever he could.

Sure I do sometimes it's warmer than some natural fabrics so they look stupid but they are so comfortable I wear them to bed cycling shoes and all. I've worn my shoe covers,rain wear, bib shorts and smelly jerseys to social functions as well. I sell bicycle touring and love cycling that's why my shorts really smell (I sometimes swap dirty shorts with clean ones twice a month). what's wrong with him :you !car lover.

It's only garbage if he NEVER changes clothes.Frankly I wish I had a job I could ride my bike to work with. If he's nuts as you wonder, I envy him, but then again -- I am nuts.
