I started 3 stone heavier than you are and wore lycra - yes its not the best look but you'll get used to it, I'm now down to 15 stone so feel better now when I pull on the bibs. You need the jacket or jersey to complete the look though or you do just look like a fat weirdo.

No word of a lie, I passed someone last summer, on a very hot day, just wearing bib shorts on his bike. Now that looked weird.

Why?

 

[ColinJ]

Why?

He was wearing them as a jersey?

Seriously one of the best thing about cycling is the ability to wear silly looking kit. Wearing a Helmet helps disguise you though !

 

[DooDah]

Why?

Uhhh, because he had no jersey on, and he looked like a wrestler on a bike. He also had tanned arms and legs but his torso was completely white. If he wants to cycle like that then that is his business, but it definitely looked weird.

My missus calls them my laughing gear, and to be honest, she's not far wrong at the moment. Put on over a stone whilst laid up, and when the bib tights arrived and were suitably 'modelled' she was in tears. I guess at 13.5 stone, 5'10" with virtually no muscle in the legs (all the weight is firmly above the waistline...) it may have looked funny. Certainly brought home to me how much muscle had gone.
Anyway, do people not dress according to their steed? On the road bike then I'm lycra shorts/tights with a jersey and if needed Varium jacket, all nice and snug fitting (especially the top at the moment..). Hybrid/MTB is loose trousers and a T shirt/jumper, though I will admit to wearing padded lycra shorts under the trousers.

Walk about the house in just bib tights pretending to be Big Daddy. After that everything will seem reasonable.

I'm pretty sure I could locate a rather fetching photo of someone, , wearing nobbut arm and leg warmers. Let me know Ade

Is this from Pat's private collection?

 

[rich p]

Is it anyone I know?

Hmmm, yes.

Seems a one off with the cyclist tan and all. You never know, he could have been the victim of a very specific mugging or had a LeMond moment and needed his top for other purposes.

I am now the proud owner of a pair. After the initial fitting at home I found myself commentating on my life in the style of Kent Walton.
Embrace the Lycra..you'll soon want a full morph suit
