Are you afraid to look like a cyclist? I'm 50, overweight, race cx, might race road once or twice next year and when I am on the bike or more properly from the time I leave my house for a bike ride until I return I look like a cyclist. Either I have thicker bark than folks that live elsewhere of people are just more polite in the small towns I live near and ride through. If wearing normal clothes and using platform pedals works for you great glad you found what works. Enjoy your rides. I enjoy my rides kitted up and yes sometimes I even wear a shop kit for the shop that sponsors me with advertising from local businesses that have supported my team. Racing is fun, maybe you could try it sometime.
