Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I DARE you to buy a set and wear them!

I fear that someone would actually buy a set AND wear it while riding.

Lol! It probably doesn't help that I hate super hero movies, but wouldn't even allow myself to try one on..

Green Lantern for me... I always adored that super hero, I think he was a super hero... perhaps he just had the job of holding the starboard lantern after he annoyed everyone else on the ship.

I'd rock a Batman skin suit!
I would need a murdered out McLaren S-works Venge to make it more believable.
Batman is the only human out of that bunch so I wouldn't feel so awkward when getting dropped.

Lol great find.. the faces you'd see while riding around town in a Spiderman kit may just be worth it. I guarantee you'd be the talk of the cycling community within a few weeks.

I wonder if one would be able to start at the back of a crit and startle/surprise your way to a win? Hmmmm....

The female super heroes would show too much cleavage.

Ramona, in keeping with the avengers, could you imagine showing up to the club ride in a black widow suit.
