Must be the new bike.

Were you dressed in regular street clothes or skin tight, muti-
coloured spandex?

Same garb I always wear. Normal looking shorts, sometimes basketball
style and sometimes padded but baggy - you really can't tell if
they're cycling specific or not. These:

(or http://tinyurl.com/5hrc4p) and normal sweat-wicking athletic style
t-shirts, again baggy - like this

Baggy black or blue shorts, baggy white t-shirt. Even rocking the
same limited-edition headwear, for which I’ve regrettably been unable
to find a suitable replacement for the past year or so.

Anyway, my image has not changed. Only things that changed are the
speed and the bike.
