I've seen that and its ridiculous.
Here in Montreal I've seen men and women riding to work on bicycles and motor cycles wearing suits. Looks good to me!

It's probably not a cultural thing at first. People like to associate with other like-minded people. Musicians want to meet other musicians and join bands, Mustang drivers join mustang clubs, adult webamsters join adult webmaster forums. People who want bikes grew up with the image of a biker. The first thing they do after buying a bike is buy some clothes that help match the image they have in their heads, and then after that maybe start associated with others who look like them, and who have bikes as a common interest.
I don't know why it happens but a psychologist would know the answers.
