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

I wear these

or the altura summer/winter cruisers on the Sunday rides.

Just tell her what you really think next time she buys some new clothing

Am i doing it all wrong riding in flared jeans and a knitted tank top ????

So you're 'That' Guy!!

one of these days I'll have to actually try some wrestling moves....now if only I knew some no-mark numpty that might be gullible enough to be a crash test dummy

Kind of my Vic Faulkner to your Giant Haystacks

Just tell them you do not like cycling , you only use it to hide the fact that you like wearing the kinky gear, that normally shuts them up !

Another one i get is that i must be gay, so i just say " you didn't complain last night "... they shut up after that one.

She is just protecting you from the others ladies looking at you

I'm a man...?

Really? That would make you a very funny mummy.

OK then: Real women wear lycra as well.

 

[Jezston]

Are you in not too bad shape?

If so, she may well change her mind once she sees you in them!

i got called a 'lycra lout' the other day...by a work colleague whom i have never cut up/RLJ'd or even seen on the road before

Stereotypical attitude.

Whoulda thunk it ?...

I do hope that the legs are nicely shaved to go with the shorts. It's another thing you get ribbed about, but I found, over the years, that the ladies are quite taken with tanned smooth muscular legs...and often comment about why men have better legs than them. No shaving, stick to the longs, it looks really odd when you see race shorts and hairy legs!

When I was getting to know my boyfriend, he asked if I minded that he shaved his legs. Mind? I positively encourage the practice!

ah, but it's a slippery slope, next it's the chest and, before you know it, you have a full time regime including back, sack and crack....just not needed

Baggy shorts, short sleeved plaid shirt, backpack and BMX helmet usually...

If its a bit chilly when I go out I wear zipoff trousers lol

I don't think I could do lycra; I've got good legs (apart from the scars and tattoos ) courtesy of karate I think but I've got a beer belly I can't shift and I think lycra would look wierd. Looks odd on an MTB IMHO anyway.

I've toyed with wearing my Ronhill trackpants but when I get hot and sweaty I don't like stuff on my lower legs and arms. Likewise thought about running tops but none of them fit at the moment think I need to go on a diet...
