prat?

[gavroche]

I told my wife I may buy some cycling shorts instead of just using normal shorts.
Her reaction was rather unexpected. She said i would look like a prat in cycling shorts and burst out laughing!
Anybody else looking like a prat out there?

No fear! Long trousers for me thank you.

I was reminded recently by a good friend, of something I said to him about 5 years ago
"You'll never get me in that lycra looking like a right bloody pratt"
I now have a wardrobe just for my cycling kit - Yes I may look like a pratt in it, but i'm a comfier pratt!

Lycra bibshorts here. I don't give a damn what people say, you wear them for a reason (comfort on the saddle, sweat wicking, you cool down quicker ime, less wind resistance, etc)

My work mates call me Haystacks. I offered to wrestle one of the chefs to the ground oneday when he came in the changing rooms and shouted "fat wrestler" at me. One of the other guys there used to make a bit of a deal about it so I turned around and slapped my behind at him.

Real men wear lycra. End of story.

Don't worry yourself what other people think. At the end of the day, fellow cyclists won't think you're a prat.

Lycra all the way for me too (bib shorts / normal lycra shorts and tops) give me comfort over people's opinion any day

I'm a man...?

I was prepared for my girlfriend and female housemate to laugh at me when I put on my shorts. Turns out I have nice legs.

Who knew?

I usually get the Mexican wrestler jokes/nicknames from the kids, fairly merited to be honest, but it's comfy.

I am buying baggy cycle shorts as my wife would say the same thing.
