Who'd have thought things could get any worse as a cyclist?

Having been on numerous group rides, I can't say I remember anyone smelling vile.... Fair enough, or more victimisation of cyclists?

Definitely victimisation of cyclists (although I might not be entirely fresh smelling after my rides!)

No one off this forum then.

Reminds me of a local Michelin 1* near me, country pub, went in during (tandem ) ride to get a drink, studiously ignored for a long time, eventually served when another customer commented on how expensive tandems were (= chink chink for pub). Never went back again

Surely they couldn't all have ponged and they don't look the types to have a 'blazing saddles' moment after a gallon of Guinness and a dodgy doner the night before.

Sweat in synthetic shirts does pong.

Done loads of road races this year and there is always someone 'rumping up' in the bunch, even at 20 + mph.

Have a few stinkers in our club as well.

They were all probably sat around sharing an 80p coke between them and taking up half the pub.

not after a 6 mile pootle but yeah if i actually ride i assume we all have a bath /shower afterwards surely. i certainly would not wear the same base layer twice without washing.

...seriously, we have lads turn up (the same ones) for club runs in winter when its cold and they stink. Like they dont wash their gear from the previous ride or sommat.

We had a stinker out on our club ride last Saturday. I always worry other people think its me even though I know its not. There used to be a bad case at circuit training a while back too.

its not just "some cyclists",
i drive a bus and we get a few stinkers on there too.
i had to stop on the A1 one evening and ask a guy to put his shoes back on, they were totally stinking.
when he refused, i was forced to turn on the air con full blast (it was january).

The only time I have seen my 'mate' at work gag was when he took a shoe off of a cyclist with a suspected # ankle. Hard to describe but it surpassed 'cheesey' and went straight to 'ammonia'. Absolutely vile.

I bet just one of them was wearing an unwashed shirt. That'd do it.
