The fashion police say no way. I get hammered for wearing a pink Giro Italia leaders jersey on group rides. I would suspect banishment for showing up in those.

Might add if you like those you will love these: https://www.smpselle.com/smp4bike/en/products/clothing

Cartoons below the product are a hoot.

It just occurred to me; There might be a good use for those tights.

1. We round up all the CO bikers we can find.
2. Everyone orders a pair of those tights.
3. We organize a ride to Black Hawk.
4. We s-l-o-w-l-y walk back and forth the length of the town.

Curtis went too far with his design this time.

Step away from the bong, man.

Are those designs meant to represent varicose veins?

I would quit biking if I HAD to wear those. And I would not associate with anyone who did wear them. Seriously.

Bikes: confidential infromation that I don't even share with my wife

I bet that some guys (probably too many) in cyclo cross races would wear them. But not this guy, not even at the holloween race.

Great idea. Make it a regular ride on nice busy weekend days.
