minimum milage for lycra get-up?

[Nikos Zinnatwist]

I have a gorgeous body, so what is the shortest ride that it is acceptable to wear full lycra?

 

[WindyRob]

0.365 miles

I'd worry more about the justification for the time spent putting in on and changing it at the other end

If it is baking hot like it has been recently I don't think there is really a minimum mileage. That said for good weather you should not be thinking about short rides!

 

[Randochap]

Gorgeous body?

Skin suit.

 

[HLaB]

My commute is as short as 3.2-4.7miles and in this good weather I'm wearing the lycra.

 

[buggi]

go naked if you're that gorgeous

Depends - normally about 5 miles. I've got some padded normal shorts which I use for trips of up to 10 miles where a degree of decency may be required at the other end.

Some people wear lycra for the hell of it....

I wear it for my commute, which is only a just under 10-mile round trip, but as I can't cycle in in my work clothes, I might as well wear the proper gear - more comfy, less sweaty...

Which one of your bikes are you intending to ride?

 

[Black Sheep]

i'm doing a 10 mile round trip in jeans and t shirt since my wardrobe doesn't contain any shorts!

when it does, i'll be wearing shorts and a t shirt, i don't do lycra

 

[John the Monkey]

I'd wear lycra for any ride where I reckon I'm going to get sweaty - much more comfy.

All very tongue in cheeek, bud.. I reckon you are one of those sweaty MTB commuters who are still in full Altura fluor winter jacket get up with your helmet tipped up at back of head

Are you suggesting the choice of bike could effect the minimum distance before its acceptable to wear Lycra?
