It’s come up here before that I bike into work. And it may have come up that I have bike clothes specifically for this activity. A fleecy wicking long-sleeved top, my ‘samurai’ jacket, gloves, cropped sweatpants…
And I enjoy this dedicated clothing. It gives me an excuse to pick up more ‘sweats’ instead of buying real clothes.
However.
I wear my grubbiest sneakers into work. They’re really old, worn out, mesh and I think they were once white, although they’re now more of a brownish grey (only their mamma remembers their real colour). But will I replace them with a pair of new sneaks to go with the rest of my snazzy gear? Nope, nuh-uh, no way. “Dirty and Stinky?! I love these guys!”
