From a fashion standpoint, a 60 year old guy might have an easier time pulling off cycling shorts than knickers unless he was on a golf course.
In my mind, knickers are cycling gear, just like bike shorts are. Just hipper.
lol, I was going to refute this but when I went looking for knickers on normal clothing sites, all I found were capris...and they weren't marketed at men. I think I'm going to have to give you this one!
Also, I had no idea I was actually a cross-dresser!
