Because black matches with any of the fancy neon lycra tops they have. You want to look cute right?!
*shrug* I've been biking (BMX and Mountain) since a tot and I'm part of the Anti-Spandex Brigade. lol but I'm one of the extreme riders and wearing black spandex shorts to the dirt jumps or hopping off the ski lift to bomb down a hill will get me beat up.
Cycling shorts are almost always black or a dark color because a dark color minimizes shadows and the subsequent appearance of certain, um, 'apparatus.'
What i find particularly funny about this picture is seeing the 3 cyclist on the right with their faces partially covered by the black line. I normally associate them with criminals, i wonder what this picture is trying to suggest?
