Well, you shouldn't have been riding on the sidewalk. It's always safer to ride on the street.

Did your "perfect fit" pair fit the same when you began wearing them as they do now?

They did relatively, meaning that when all three variants were new, one fit well, one was really tight, and one was baggy.

I feel like there's a sizing parameter beyond size and style I'm missing.

The 511's look 1,000 times better.

I know this doesn't exactly answer your question, but I think it was partially brought back by urban cyclists wearing tight, short jeans:

I got teased at work(! -- I'm in my 30's) for doing it last year.

Contrary to conventional wisdom, padded seats tend to be less comfortable. Your best bet would be to get some padded cycling shorts. (The padding stays where it needs to, instead of on a specific area of the saddle.)

Good luck!

I've noticed that ex-BMX riders (like me) tend to say "forks" instead of "fork." I try to say fork now, but sometimes I slip.

Shh...

Exactly. You'd be overdressed.

To put it in perspective -- should he wear a tux to a fast food interview? Or would he be overdressed?

Edit: I don't disagree that one should err on the side of overdressing then underdressing, I just think it is possible to overdress.

Don't forget to check your pedals, too.

Your dad's wrong; of course you can. You need to present as someone who will work well with their team.

When a friend of mine interviewed at Apple, his recruiter told him specifically to not wear a suit because that wasn't the type of person their engineering department was looking for. (And yes, he got the job.)

There also come a time when you outgrow thinking it's cool to be "pimp as fuck."

Let's hang out!

Also, I was going to say your saddle angle is a little high, but then I read your footnote on the bike.

At my first programming job, we always said "dub dub dub dot ..."

More than Law and Order?

I disagree with the "this is silly" comment, but, I think low top All Stars would have looked 1,000x better that the Adidas. I also like the shirt and tie, but -- to be picky -- would have gone with a darker wash with the jeans.

I agree with powerwafer -- #3 looks good. I'd take that photo in with you when you get your hair cut and ask for a slightly shorter version of that.

The only difference is you can ride your bike to the Inner Sunset and the Haight, then from there it's a pretty quick ride to Castro/Mission.

I had him sign my book I hate you robby.
