lulz. Only the anonimity of the internet will allow me to admit that I tried that once. Probably the worst idea ever.
I like to do it in the supermarket. Im just vain enough to think that every woman is checking me out.
Oh, and I'll add that nothing quite beats the self-satisfied entertainment of walking into the gas station to get some water + snacks during a long ride, wearing nothing but sweat-soaked lycra. Sure gets them country boys uncomfortable. 'Specially when the blood starts flowing back to my junk.

Generally, when I'm on my fixed gear bike I'm either dressed for work (dress pants, button-down, and tie) or for riding (the full roadie lycra kit).
Unfortunately, I do not own skinny girl jeans and a white belt.

this thread title alone makes me annoyed
so spandex-fitting jeans are cool for riding, right? when you can barely mount your bike because your jeans are so tight?
gimme a break -- bikes aren't a fashion accessory

MAN, some of you guys are defensive. Look, it's okay that you wear lycra. I promise I'm not laughing at you. You can stop ranting about hipsters and tight jeans and white belts or whatever the hell. It's oh-kay. OK?

Only my own comfort levels will allow me to admit, internet or not, that I've shaved that **** for years, and can't fathom having a gross forest of fur hidden behind my pants.
