Mexican restraunt for me

Wedding...

Okay, not full kit. I was cold at the reception, and the only 'sweater' I had was my wool long sleeve jersey I had with me - I had ridden to meet my date the day before.

I work in commercial construction management. I thought I could ride home from the office at 5:00 and stop by a job site to grab some quick measurements as most crews are off at 3:30. As it happens some masons were working OT that night.

Construction sites are no place to be wearing spandex.

Enterprise car rental place after my bike and car were totaled from an auto accident. Got rear ended on the freeway on my way to a race. I felt a little weird standing there in my spandex with flames asking for a rental car.

worse was an arbys restaurant with a tear in the crouch, and a ball hanging out at the counter while ordering food at night on a late night run

Fruit salad? Eeeeewwwwww!

The summit of Mount Everest.

Nah, not really, but every other scenario that came to mind has already been taken.

Walked into the waiting room at my daughter's dentist office Monday while she was waiting for appointment. She was HORRIFIED!

I had just gotten back from a ride with a buddy of mine, and my wife decided that our new couch needed to be moved from the garage to the basement IMMEDIATELY. Lets just say that leather against spandex doesn't make it too easy to grip furniture. We joked as we did it that we should start a moving company, and full kits would be our uniforms.

Lol at some of the replies.

I think at some point you just stop caring.

I have no inhibitions about going anywhere in full kit. Coffee shop, Dr.'s office, grocery store, restaurants, whatev.

I'd say the most awkward situation is when I'm wearing bib shorts and have to use a crowded public restroom where the stalls are all taken.

It's really no fun trying to delicately finesse your junk over & out with some other dude standing at the urinal next to you and a line of guys watching from behind.

Yeah, that sucks.

Every Saturday ride we go to McD's for some sausage McMuffins, Pee'n is always necessary after sitting around for 30 minutes. I feel 'the weird' when the two heavy machinery operators in Carhart walk in while I am half bent over at the urinal so I don't have to remove the bib straps... and yet I am not different from then every other day of the week, but I feel like they are making estimations of how far away they could throw me into an open dumpster without hitting the walls or lid.

I really don't care about being seen in my kit. But I do feel uncomfortable standing around in a wet chamois, which is a recipe for monkey butt.

Starting off early shaming the child at school, awesome. lol
Save the bathrobe and slippers for jr high and go full-on skinsuit and tt helmet for high school.

Walked through a grocery store, in a foreign town where I was vacationing, in full kit after a 50 miler looking for a recovery drink and a snack. Carried my bike in with me and removed my shoes, but wore my helmet. Luckily it was FL, so no biggie ;-)

A lot depends on how used the locals are to the sight of a person in lycra. A few years ago we were in Tuscany and I rented a road bike for a few days, no one batted an eye when I popped in the local shop for a can of Aranciata and a bag of chips.

I decided to ride into the city, towards the end of my ride I decided to take a short cut home, through the bad area. Bad area=bad roads. I ended up with a flat tire and no spare or (charged) phone, I had to go into a corner store, ask the guy behind the counter to use his phone, meanwhile I have no money to buy anything. I called a freind and had to stand infront of probaly one of the worst spots in michigan, at about dark, in full kit, waiting for a ride home. Everything worked out ok, but it feaked me out.

Maybe it's just because of where I live, but there's not really anywhere that I'd feel particularly uncomfortable walking into in full kit. I've stopped at a local beer store to grab a six pack on the way home a couple times and never had anyone look at me funny.

Big R

Just last week...exercised my civic right/duty to vote...in full kit. 'merica!

When I was in college, the first time I met my wife I had just finished a 4 hour mountain bike ride. I was covered in sweat, mud and bugs, stank because I never washed my cycling stuff in college and was so tired and famished that I'm sure I was rude. I was starving and the dining hall was closing in ten minutes. I didn't have time to get changed.

We were on a ride through the FL Keys and took a little detour off the main road. Ten miles into the middle of nowhere, we saw a little bar/grille and decided to stop for lunch. It seems we were at the side entrance and didn't see the motorcycles and jacked up pickup trucks in front. Walk in, hmmmm, aahhh I think we will eat outside.
Florida turns into the deep south not far off the main road.

i live in a part of town were full kit is common, they have several bike races and group rides several times of year, and several people train through there, it is when you get away from my part of town things get strange and people act like they have never seen a bike before.

In a workingmans bar, where nobody knew my name. I took some gentle ribbing. And swimming at a beach frequented mostly by people from the Bronx. They were mostly impressed by how long and far I swam.

Turnin2

You were swimming in full bike kit?

rebel1916

Just shorts. Training for a tri.
