I've wondered whether most guys push their junk up or down when in lycra. Guess I know the answer.

up is away from the saddle

It's still a bike, no matter how much bull**** is associated with it. When you get on the bike, you wear clothes that are comfortable on the bike. NOT wearing your shorts because it's a fixie fashion faux pas is way worse than not wearing them because you're afraid of looking like a poseur.

has anyone mentioned that lycra hate has nothing to do with fixed gear bikes and everything to do with the losers you hang out with
?

As I understand proper technique with lycra is to not wear undies. Is the technique the same with jerseys, to not wear an undershirt (guy) or bra (gal)?

Astronomical

step 1: buy/take/receev girlpants
step 2: roll up/cut off
step 3: **********?
step 4: PROFIT!

All you miss is padding and tiny seams.

So it's technically irrelevant because I was on my road bike at the time, but this morning I was out for a ~35 mile ride in roadie gear, and I stopped to look at my rear tire on a little residential street and I totally noticed a 60-65 year old woman looking at my penis. Wicked uncomfortable.

a similar thing happened to me.. i was riding my road bike, and an older lady in a cadillac coupe thing gave a little honk, drove by, i looked over and she was giving a nod of approval. it was kinda weird, but funny.

but i mean, i have been told i have a nice ass... oh well.

you people wear clothes when you cycle?

BRANDUNE

Makes me think of one of these

It depends. Do I need pockets at my destination?

The pic of the red lycra has been banned in the Roadie forum.


The rule is: cycling shorts should be dark, preferably black.

Instead of shorts, wear bibs. Once you go bibs, you won't go back.

All the pockets you'd ever need are on the back of your jersey.

denim lycra AND gears will save us.

I have been waiting for a while for Primal Gear or some other novelty-wear maker to come up with a whole line of fakenger/bikepunk trompe l'euil spandex: shorts with fake patches, "frayed" "cuffs" and "mini u-lock" tucked into the "back pocket"; jerseys that look like a thrift store Judas Priest shirt with the sleeves cut off and mock grease stains and "holes".

Falkon 

yes.

The only time I'm not visually wearing lycra is in the winter. I can stand the look of bike shorts, but not the winter tights. I will not wear them.. ever. I wear my lycra shorts under nylon pants that aren't too baggy so they don't flap in the wind and make me lose 2 mph. I've also worn jeans over lycra. This was for commuting to work, which is 15 miles. Farther than that, I might have to make other considerations.

I swear to god, if some weird Fourth Reich ever comes out of hiding from their secret Antarctic bases in an attempt to take over the world, YOU will be the hero that saves us all.

^.Anyone notice the bike's top tube. For what reason does the top tube need a protective sheeth? Must be the tool belt. Looks like someone needs a bike fitting.

deathhare

i like looking at that area

Well Played

doofo

one of the few times that top tube protection seems appropriate

i wear lycra when i don't have an end-destination and just want to ride for an hour or two or three. i don't know why riding a fixed bike means no lycra to some people; gears or not i soak cotton t-shirts and jeans in no time at all. it's not like lycra means you have to ride around in a t-mobile kit or anything, i just buy all-black stuff and call it a day.

euphoria

we don't appreciate reasonable responses 'round these parts. please pick one end of the extreme and stick to it. thanks

cyclezealot

why. think it needs protection from scratches or what. the dude's expression. Sort of looks like he does not want to go to work. probably only bologna sandwiches.
