Don't lump me in with middle class lycra lifestylers - my cycling culture is 1950s factory hands
pedaling to work in the mornings...

Steel toe cap boots, baggy trousers, and a sensible coat or jacket.
Headware is an optional wooly hat or balaclava...
Army surplus back pack for sandwiches and flask, chain & padlock, puncture kit, and pump.
.. and cycle clips to prevent trouser legs getting caught in the chain...


..I'm really not joking...

My only concession to the later 20th century was a gortex waterproof hooded jacket...
