So all the pro road racers should be wearing.... what?
Your punishment for posting such a stupid comment should be to ride a double century in baggies... or whatever the hell it is you wear. Cut-offs? I don't care... just do it and report back to us.

(No idea, of course, but we're not going to have a discussion about the aesthetics of spandex without invoking MilliVanilli).

Why the heck would I need to "look good"? I'm already married. It's not like I'm looking for a mistress.
Other sports wear tight clothing. Why not us?
It's not like riding a bike is akin to a fashion show for me.

I witnessed a very hefty guy take off from Huntington Beach on the west coast heading for Ney York City on the east coast. It took him sixty nine days. So What? A land mine in 'Nam had taken off both legs at mid-thigh and he did his ride with rotary hand cranks. Don't know how much weight he lost during the ride, if any. This man also walked across the US, yes on his hands. It took him a year. Weight will not stop the motivated. If you get an urge to say something rude, crude and offensive to a large person just Zip It.

DataJunkie - if you sound like a Howler Monkey - well, I would love to hear you scream at a person in your way! (of course a true howler throws things - do you know what?)

I'm 'larger', and I exercise. I gotta think that using someone else's insulting attitude as a reason/excuse for NOT exercising would be nearly as lame as the insult, itself.
Last time someone made a comment about me in spandex, my riding budy said, "Watch it, kid - you're slow, he's not, and he's eaten sandwiches bigger than you."

I make fun of anyone wearing spandex, not just the fatties. Just like they make fun of me for being a fred who wears sandles on my platforms. You need to work on growing a thicker skin, especially if you let something someone said on an internet forum affect you so much.

I've always been a mountain and always will be. Most people don't bother me. Most are probably afraid of me. But sometimes people make quips or remarks. For some reason it's usually dapper little old men. But I don't pay them no nevermind. I'd bike mother naked if I had my druthers. Or if my druthers weren't illegal.
