The bike subreddits are super painful. Mainly full of "Freds" IMO there is not actually a ton of what you talk about. If anything, it's the opposite, a ton of really inexperienced folks posting about their first 20 mile ride.

I'm wearing it because it has a chamois, convenient pockets, and is a bit more aero (which means that days with a killer headwind are slightly less bad)
