Exactly. I do not see what is the issue about wearing appropriate clothing for 
the sport at hand. I cycle 1000 km per month, and yes, I wear cycling clothes 
when I am riding for sport. When I am just running an errand in the 
neighborhood, it is a different story.

That NZ restaurant seems totally moronic. Especially since they are apparently 
located in an area popular with recreational cyclists.

Cheers,
Nathan
