New York City is no stranger to bold fashion statements, but a recent image making the rounds on Reddit has taken things to a whole new level. Titled "Keep it cool NYC," the photo captures an urban street scene with a man riding a CitiBike on a bustling road. The man, sporting a white t-shirt and transparent shorts that leave little to the imagination, has sparked a flurry of reactions online.

The image, taken from inside a vehicle, shows the man confidently pedaling down the street with a shoulder strap bag crossing his body. The blue CitiBike, a staple of NYC's bike-sharing program, contrasts sharply with the man's daring outfit. The background reveals quintessential urban elements: beige and brown brick facades, a sign reading "MICHAEL'S RESTAURANT," a black awning adorned with string lights, and a blue and green trash bin on the sidewalk.

Commenters were quick to react to the man's fashion choice. One user quipped, "I wish I cared so little about what others think of me," while another joked, "Is that Kanye’s newest wife?" The humor continued with remarks like, "I hope Citi owns some flame throwers because that's about what it will take to clean that seat," and "Has anyone noticed the yellow mustard stain on his left b*** cheek? This guy been through stuff."

There were also light-hearted theories about the man's attire. "Guys it's fine, he's just given birth. And he should be commended because it's very bold of him to ride a bike wearing his post-partum recovery mesh underwear over just a thong," one commenter suggested. Another speculated, "Bro lost a bet."

The scene also prompted practical advice from seasoned city dwellers. "Always wipe the seat down on those Citi Bikes," one user cautioned, while another added, "And here I was, only worried about the dirtiness of the hand grips on rental e-bikes and sc*****s. New concern unlocked."

Despite the mixed reactions, one thing is clear: this man's fashion choice has left an indelible mark on NYC's vibrant streets. Whether you view it as a bold statement or a questionable decision, it’s a reminder that in the Big Apple, individuality reigns supreme. So next time you find yourself riding a CitiBike, remember to "Keep it cool NYC" style.

Wait, what is happening? I originally thought the poor dude got caught in the rain or something, and his fabric turned translucent. That kind of stuff happens. I had pants that did that. But now I'm looking closely and it looks like it's actually just large mesh shorts? Did the dude choose to just wear those, with a man-thong? If so, I'm kinda jealous. I wish I had the confidence and zero f\*\*\*s to give and just go like that.
