Simple.
1, Lycra is a road bike thing. I ride trails.
2, you have a handy pocket for wer Broon and wer tabs (Geordie speak, search 'Geordie Jumpers' on Youtube for example).
3, Nothing worse than a 40 something bloke strutting around the pub mid-ride in faded flouro Lycra.
4, baggies fare better in a crash- you can get away with tearing, whereas with Lycra fleshy parts are liberated from their prison and pop out.
5, Lycra is quite gay.
6, its too sodding cold up north where all the best riding is to be had- small willy syndrome and likelyhood of being beaten up in pub after (see point 3 above).
7, its just shite.
8, And finally, if you cast your minds back to 1990, Shaun Ryder told us 'It's gotta beee a loooose fit' without exception. And he knows his onions. Nuff said.
Just my humble opinion of course.
