Foo - Butts in Cycling Shorts

Does anyone find cycling gear on people attractive? I find the "I crapped my pants look" to be pretty much unflattering on everyone....

I often think.. wow, I bet they look great in normal clothes. ALthough, I am attracted to people in cycling clothes because I know they cycle... its a paradox really.

i don't think i've ever seen any cyclists that have a "i crapped my pants" look. Most cyclists wear tight clothese that conform to their toned body

Nah, I prefer chicks in bikinis.

They look better on women than men.

bikini.... i like what your thinking

They look better on women than men.
i dont know the ladies ive seen have legs the size of my head

Personally, I'd rather see an attractive woman wearing a thin coat of baby oil than any cycling outfit. But that's probably just me.

Perhaps you haven't seen one of the most frequently reposted pics from recent SoCal BikeForums rides. The original post is here (http://www.bikeforums.net/showpost.php?p=2839522&postcount=20). The pic is below. (Yes, that's me right in front of them, on my Roubaix's final group ride. No, that's not why this pic gets posted so often.

Next thing you know that photo will be posted on the internet and strangers all over the world will be oggling these women. Oh... wait.... never mind....:D

I beg to differ. Men look great in cycling shorts. You pretty much can spot a true bull if you're looking at just the right angle.

not sure I want an explanation...

not sure you'd like the one I have to offer. :D

lol..ok...

You know what this thread needs?

..........more members in spandex?

uh oh. That sounded funny.

You know what this thread needs?
I would think pics, except I already shared pics. So enlighten me. What does this thread need? A poll?

That it did. :D

Yes, but they (the shorts) look best on the bedroom floor. :eek:

:roflmao: You're rivaling Karldar for the funniest post I've read tonight!

In answer to the original question, women in cycling shorts can look VERY sexy!

A group pic of a certain team. A team from europe, dare I say?

Umm, I thought that pic was of the front side. Isn't this thread about the back side?

This is me in my sexy riding gear.

I'd post some nice-looking butts in cycling-shorts, but we'd get this thread locked and deleted...

Heres some super sexy legs in riding gear for you all to gawk at.

the women i ride with always insist on me leading because a.) they don't know the area :rolleyes: b.) they aren't as fast :rolleyes: c.) they want to learn better form :rolleyes: or d.) they are honest and say they want to stare at my ass :p

yeah, men in spandex are definitly a big no-no:rolleyes: :p

I would look good in Spandex if I was not 50lb overweight:eek: :eek:

goes the other way too. very skinny people don't look that good either.

most bike clothing just shows people what kind of body you have. the better the body the better you'll look. other than the padding, it's basically one step away from being naked.

I look sexy in my kit. Somtimes I just stare at myself in the mirror before a ride.

I look sexy in my kit.

prove it.

Hey me too. :p

Ever heard the term "Grower or show-er"? Some feature compact storage, others don't, basicaly X can go from 1 to 7 while Z goes from 5 to 6. Just can't tell which is which untill it's go time, Z would be better for spandex and streaking, but X may be better for other purposes.
See also, related terms: "Shrinkage" and "River d**k". :rolleyes:

My wife, while not being a cyclist, has certainly come around to the idea of me walking around in my cycling shorts.

I promised I wouldn't write about the woman I was drafting behind on last Sunday's century.... I lied.

While it was wonderful to get pretty much a free ride into a 15-20 mph headwind, the tradeoff was that her lycra had achieved pretty much screen-door status due to its straining to contain the goods. :o

She was a damn site faster than the skinny wannabes like me. Most of us look pretty goofy in roadie garb.

prove it.

+1 :D

Hey me too. :p

I'm so lost... Look, shrinkage or otherwise, bike shorts look good on men. That's my opinon, and I'm sticking to it. So, put the shorts on, boys, and PULL me through the wind (even if there isn't any). ;)

I vote for diaper.

A few of my buddies I often ride with become homophobic when it comes to seeing me ride in spandex.

Whatever.

When I pull ahead of them during a climb I yell back "HAY GUUUYS! How do my calves look? I know my ass must look GREAT from there!"

It follows the Skier Clothing Corollary: If they look good in the gear, they're gonna look good out of it.

I have a pair of Pearl Izumi shorts with a pad so thick that they definitely give the load in the pants look.

ya know... i do have a pair of those and I agree, I have NEVER worn them, the thing just looks ridiculous! you feel like you're wearing a diaper and you just grow quite a butt, no thanks

I have yet to get any cycling shorts. I probably will once I start doing longer distances. I don't think they look too bad on others...on myself will be a different story. :p

very proud owner of a 40 year old butt:D :p and the best thing about it, it comes with me wherever I go and doesnt take a few minutes to catch up behind me.

Going by the pics we've all seen of you, yeah. You don't have anything to worry about.


And to the 'diaper' comments, that has to do with the brand, too. I just bought a pair of Adidas bib tights, and yeah, the chamois in those things IS a diaper. Not so with my Performance Ultras, or Santinis. Don't want a diaper? Try them on first. :)

Lookin better than girls half yer age. Thank you.

Thanks for the tip. There is no way that I'm going to feel comfortable wearing diaper shorts! :p

Ummm...Shad...listen, having seen enough pictures of you, we know you will look good in bike shorts if you ever decide to don a pair.;) No worries there for you...trust me. Well actually...Joe's opinion is the only one that really matters there.:D

;) Thanks Cycle! I think he actually prefers baggier mountain bike type shorts, so there's that. :p

You should be a very proud owner of a 40 year old body, not just the butt. I hope I'm in comparably good shape in 13 years' time.

I agree. Woman, you look fabulous (don't worry, I'm into men...as I think has been established. ;) )
