In fact, while his crimes are many, our big boned friend's fashion violations are not directly related to his size. They are listed below.
- While there may be valid reasons for letting yourself go, there's no excuse for ill fitting clothes. Spandex comes in a multitude of sizes. The gap between the jersey and the bibs is criminal, and if the legs were any longer they'd be knickers.
- There's the issue of wearing a pro kit when one is not a pro cyclist. (I checked the Lampre roster, and there's no record of this guy ever racing for them). It's a fashion faux pas that's often committed, and never acceptable.
- Lastly, as if to add insult to injury, there's the whole socks with sandals thing. That may fly if you're a grandpa walking along Miami Beach with a metal detector, but it is not acceptable active wear.
and where's his bike? Or his helmet?
