You were being completely serious when you posted that you had to get
ready to ride through west Youngstown.

 
Sure, as I've explained. Remember, I used to commute to work by bike.
Getting ready meant strapping my briefcase on the bike's rear rack,
clipping on an eyeglass mirror (optional but handy in traffic), putting
on an appropriate jacket, and using a safety pin to tighten my right
pants cuff so it stayed away from the chain.
 
Tom, you probably do more to prepare for your recreational rides. I'll
bet you change into a riding costume. I commuted in ordinary business
casual clothes.
 

 
Depends on the distance I found for 3 ish miles then as long as one’s
trousers where’s flappy just jump on and go.
 
Since my commute is now 10/12 miles route dependant do need a “riding
costume” normal trousers get eaten away, Lycra shorts make sense and more
comfortable than cotton pants, which will get grim.
 
I have discovered that MTB trousers and “technical” t shirts can reduce the
amount of clothes I need to bring ie only need underwear and maybe a t
shirt.

Flappy pants and shorts collect bugs on a recumbent. MY bike clothes
are lycra, but the overpriced trendy kind you buy in a bike shop.
They're all black with a minumum of brand labels.

On the commute it’s only the Lycra shorts aka underwear as I use MTB
trousers which work as well work trousers. Plus a top which is an older
Lycra t shirt be though I do have one more generic sports one.

Though commuting is much gentler on kit than Gravel let alone MTBing, but
even so cheap Amazon etc tops, don’t last long and tend to fit poorly, and
non cycling shorts disintegrate rather rapidly.

You may not wear cycling kit but in my experience other recumbent riders do
seem to, which makes sense as your still in a slightly bent position so a
top that fits that posture ie doesn’t leave a arse crack showing and
shorts/trousers than don’t rub and so on.
