What to wear on a bike?

I promised pictures, but the computer kept crashing when I tried to upload them, so I'm afraid that was not to be. I did however manage to upload the picture you can see at the top, of Mike and Sam, which has prompted a few comments about their attire. So, to clarify.
Sam - in the picture, is wearing a rather natty pair of shorts that were made by a tailor in Myanmar, out of a left over piece of cloth that he had been making Mike some trousers from. Yes, this does therefore mean that Mike has a pair of rather extraordinary checked troosers which apparently 'will be ideal for golf'.
Mike - in the picture, is clad from head to foot in cycling gear. We started the trip in normal clothes but slowly he has made sneaky purchases from cycling shops and now wears padded cycling shorts (yes, indeedy, padded right over the crotch, need I say more?), a cycling vest and cycling gloves. Very practical or geeky depending on your take on things.
Liddy - Well, here's the thing. I was wearing normal clothes but was having what I shall delicately refer to as 'comfort issues' (M&S lingerie is perhaps not designed with the mountains of Northern Laos in mind), and have now had to ditch my usual bottom half for a pair of lemon yellow cotton pedal pushers. complete with rust marks where they have been on the hanger for the last decade. No, it's not a good look and funnily enough, you may find that pictures of me cycling will remain in short supply. But they are wonderfully comfortable.
Meggles - Generally just looks like an urchin, whatever she wears, as she has taken to playing in the dirt. Daddy's Little Princess, she is not.
So, there you have it, now you can picture us all, even if I can't post pictures.
