You can't possibly get to that next level without taking the SPORT seriously and giving it the proper attention and dedication. YOU'LL ALWAYS BE A FILTHY CASUAL.
Take the plunge, get a bib, maybe lycra shorts to start with padding and a carbon frame bike and aero helmet. You'll notice a 100% change in your ride. What are you not MANNN ENOUGH to wear some skintight spandex in the city? Fucking grow up kid, put up or shut up.
