He's way past that stuff, uploads his shit to Strava, buys expensive power meters etc. Modern sports is basically science, those clothes are all specifically designed either to protect from winds/rain, or to allow sweat to evaporate faster, or to create better aerodynamics, many of these road bikes are works of art, light yet durable, strong, some can cost thousands upon thousands of USD.Family men who ride their bikes just wear regular attire and hit up trails and admire nature.
I rarely bike these days cause I had quite a few nasty accidents, none my fault, some landed me in hospital etc., which is unpleasant, so running it is instead, but I sure miss the 70km/h descents from some mountain peak and sprinting at 50km/h, that shit's euphoric as hell.
And you cannot do any of it with family, unless your wife is a cyclist too.
