have some altura tights that ive not worn as i was "waiting for the cold weather". donned them the other night (approx 11 celsius) and my goodness it wasnt long before "linfords luchbox" all but dissapaered!
i was considering weather the installation of a baby's sock might help (well maybee a toddler size sock).
any tips or guidence on keeping the family jewels up at normal operating temperature?? 😯
p.s. underwear was not in use on this occation and may well be a simple solution...
I use one of those knee high walking socks.......

Similar worries here. Mine shrank to just 10" the other night
I'm surprised you've got any trouble in October. I've had to resort to stuffing a sock down there one winter, but it was -15 on the commute.
A second layer of lycra, or windproof baggies over is about all you can do I reckon.
It's susposed to be an evolutionary trait to prevent frostbite 😉
Seriously, who is going to look at your little fella? GF, BF or Wf?
Wear cycling shorts over your tights if you're that insecure.
Otherwise stop looking and ride more.
i find dirty thoughts about that ginger burd outa girls aloud help.....
I use unpadded tights with my normal (maybe old and worn-out) lycra bibshorts underneath. When it's really cold, baggies on top as well. Seems to work ok.
Any good at knitting?

I never ride tights on their own - always wear shorts underneath and have unpadded tights. Never has any probs 😉
"i find dirty thoughts about that ginger burd outa girls aloud help....."
oh god no, she would have made it invert inside me! now the blond one, thats different 😉
seriously this isnt a manhood thing as id have just whacked a courgette down there if need be, what im saying is it was seriously uncomfortable and cold! and yes it is october, thats why im concerened for febuary etc.
baggies might be a must i reckon.
Maybe you need winter tights?
Non padded winter tights over bib shorts here with no issues right down to -17c. There was some shrinkage with the old fella, but as he wasn't really required to be standing to attention, I didn't worry too much...
hands free kit and a dirty phonecall to him/her indoors?
especialy good for setting PB's on the commute home if she gets in first 😉
Just go round to fauxbyfour's house and claim to be Wiggle. It'll soon get warmed up.
Dont make me whip out my "I cycle in 6" of snow mid-winter in shorts and tshirt, with no problems" picture - I dont like showing off 😀
Seriously though, just don a few more layers down there.
You aren't going do any damage so why worry!!!! The body does that to protect your little tadpoles and draws them into your body to keep them warm. Stop worrying and just ride. It'll still taste the same pmsl
Coax it out with some cheese.
I bet you get people waving at you as you ride past
