It annoys me when you get some 16 stone lad blowing out of his ar$e in full team Sky out fit though o_O

It becomes a little weird when you start to enjoy wearing lycra

It's when wearing the Lycra you catch the eye of the opposite sex (or not if that's your preference) and they either make eye to eye contact and smile......or break down in floods of tears laughing their head off.

I always get checked out, never had any women laugh.

When I think I holding up the car behind me, I soon realise they are awestruck by my pert lycra clad bum and they just can't bring themselves to overtake. If they warrant it, I'll get out the saddle and give them an extra wiggle...


surefire crowd pleaser

proud and loud lol just wear it

So I've bought my bike and all the bits I need, helmet, padded shorts, bright orange and black top, gloves etc. I wore it all today for my first ride. Do I look stupid wearing all that gear as I've only got a beginners bike and I'm only just starting out? Is that all for the professional?

You'll feel like you look a lot dafter than you really do. In time you will find gear that you just feel happy wearing and it may not be the stuff you've chosen today...or it may.

Bollocks to what others think you look like, at least your out on a bike making an effort to keep fit and have some self pride, rather than slouching it on a couch watching stupid football.
All I'd say is try to avoid team kits until you can ride your entire training ride without looking as if you are sucking on a lemon.

But to be fair - it is just so lovely and silky.

!00% agree with you apart from that bit.

Flourescent yellow, lime green, and orange tops are all cool in my book, so wear what you like mate..and I have 4 pairs of lycra shorts too.

I'm glad some else gets the same feelings...

Cheers mate, got to admit though...I did ask my Mrs if she thought my ar$e looked good in the lycra tell you what though, it feels bruised after sitting on that seat.

The saddle might need breaking in a tad its always sore at first..
