Ok. whats the deal with skinny old doods and lycra pants?
What are the benefits to riding with lycra as opposed to anything else?
I think its dangerous and should be licenced like a driving licence and subject to weight restrictions... Sexist yeah totally but No one and i mean no one needs to see some 50 yo minger on the bus on a hot day wearing lycra and a g string with shopping; or skinny Xc weight weenies riding bikes.
So apart from the ability to cling to skin and fool old people into thinking your a professional rider whats lycra for?
what's lycra for? aerodynamics, lack of flappy bits to catch on bike, that special feel, lack of insulating properties.
its comfy..... i wear it all the time :roll:
Should be a licence required for people who are so superficial to have kids.

what about loose lickra?
lickra helps to emphasize the size of the things udner the lycra lol
I failed my lycra license, they blacklisted me after taking a photo. So now I have to wear baggies over the top.
But if you're doing any amount of pedalling, a good set of knicks makes the world of difference to your comfort. It's not the best look, but for fucks sake, functionality should be the primary aim with cycling.
i wear lycra when on my roadie...

Practically naked in public
Tight, aerodynamic cycling clothing is some of the sexiest sportswear ever designed. When you're wearing Lycra, it feels like you're wearing nothing at all. And when you're watching it in action, stretched across taut, rhythmically pumping thighs.....hey, isn't it time for a ride?
Hrm... I will ride through the city to Bondi without a shirt on (it's a new habit I've developed) but there is NO WAY IN HELL I'm gunna have anything below the waist on display for the public. Not cool.

i play waterpolo, you get over the whole speedos thing pretty quickly.
for any kind of distance riding you can't go past a knicks, it's not just tight strechy pants, it's the seemless pad that stops your arse from chaffing, if you've never experenced this you probably have never ridden more than 80 kms in a day.
i've also heard that the close fitting material also helps keep your muscles warm and increases blood flow.
if your scared of wearing lyrca in public (or semi open places like mtb trails) it's probably due to some 'how do you say... size issues'

Haha nice one Ty. But yeah you gotta give em a go. If you're worried about bruising your ego, just try em under a pair of baggies next time you go for a ride. Will make a world of diffrence.
I have size issues, my ass is too fat.

LOL @ TY!
The only time I wear lycra is when racing, and occasionally under my baggies when it's cold or at night. :wink: Anyother time and it's baggies all they way!

Just a word of warning - don't wear jocks with lycra, it defeats the purpose.

Have you ever been in a race over a long distance and need to wee out your peter?. Nick's are not cool in this situation, Trying to stand up and pee, ride and keep up. You get wee all over the place - all through your nick's, all over your bike, all over other riders. It's not on yo. It's like peeing in your wet suit, Not that either of the above has happend to me.
Nicks/lycra rock.
It's like peeing in your wet suit,
wtf? peeing in you wet suit is farkin good. when ever i go surfing it is at least a 50 minute drive, and i make every effort to down a bottle of water during that time. it is warm! it makes you fell all... good! peeing in you lycra is nothing to do wiht wet suits. you sir are WRONG to da max!!!

You pee in your wet suit? Your the one thats wrong pee boy...

If you are surfing (or in my case body boarding) down the southcoast, in winter, then you are HANGING for when you have to piss. It isn't called a wettie warmer for nothing. :D
nicks will save you from horendous rashes on your gouch

I have heard that peeing in a wet suit is;
a) great for fatiguing the wet suit material
b) great for attracting grey suited friends....
Sharks can smell blood at something like 5 parts in a million; urine is something else they can smell pretty well....
