Just what is it about lycra?!?
Read the title above, ok, what's the deal with some people getting all awkward about lycra? It's not just non-riders, the same irrational guff seems to get parroted by fellow cyclists as well. Just what is it? Intolerance? Awkwardness? Jealousy? Some bizarro class-consciousness thing? Misdirected Aussie poofta radar? -- cfsmtb |

I had someone tell me a few weeks back that wearing lycra is 'the ultimate bogan gauge'. I nearly fell off my chair laughing, given that the same girl was earlier telling all about her boyfriends 'beautiful car' - a Falcon XR6. Same girl talks like a fscking nitwit on the phone and gets the whole wannabe corporate sl*tty lisp going. "Yeth juth a moyment, I'll see if Misther X is avaoilible for you". I dunno what it is. I tell everyone it's quite erotic to wear. Maybe that's why people get uncomfortable? -- LotteBum |

Misdirected Aussie poofta radar? Probably a combination of poor self image, ignorance, and/or the sighting of someone who's bulging out of their lycra. Sure, it's highly suitable cycle-wear, but it does nothing attractive for those grossly overweight -- Duracell Bunny |

Last evening I spend a good 20 minutes or more "reading" the new Assos summer catalogue. Only meant to have a quick squiz. ie: that young chap they're using for modelling the gear is seriously Hot. -- cfsmtb |

You tend to get passed quite a bit and there are some seriously cute bums out there! -- LotteBum |

Lycra is yet another reason that we have to encourage womens cycling! |

The Women's Rescue League met recently at Washington and launched a double-shotted anathema at the female bike fiend. The Leaguers attribute to the bicycle craze "the alarming increase" in the number of courtesans, and call upon ministers and respectable women everywhere to denounce cycling by the sex as "vulgar and indecent." Nor do they stop there. The bike, in their opinion, is irremediably bad. While destroying the morals of the maid, it wreeks the prospective motherhood of the matron. It is provocative of diseases peculiar to women, and calculated to transform the sex into a grand army of invalids. These are a few of the reasons why the Women's Rescue League is scattering tacks in the pathway of the pneumatic tire. There are others. http://www.worldwideschool.com/libra...-1/chap42.html |

He had some of those awful knicks with a small mesh panel at the top of his bumcrack. So wrong! I had to drop back and let his buddy in front of me. What are these people thinking? Donga |
