I think you'll find no-one cares what lycra looks like. It's all about performance.

It's sexy and flattering on ladies, yet utterly disgusting on men.

Agree 400%

Depends on the man surely. Some of the women I know love looking at men wearing lycra.

Try taking a lady friend to a triathlon…

er… no

I look awsum in likra innit 😀

You'll be the kind of boys who wear big baggy shorts to swim in so no one laughs at your wee willie winkie then?

Lycra is functional, not fashionable in cycling terms, get over yourselves…

No – I wear it when the need arises, I just don't delude myself that it's a good look

one of the comments from the site

For long distances, I use a recumbent – it's got a proper seat, not a skinny gonad-crushing leather thing. In winter, I can wear jeans, trousers, whatever. In summer, normal summer shorts. No silly clothing required, and my mates don't laugh at me in the pub.

I think its clear that anything this man says should not be believed.

Whats the difference beteween a man wearing lycra, and some teenage kid wearing his jeans down his bum while doing fantastic tricks on a bike, or all these lads wering skinny jeans.

All a bit sexist and rather silly, oh and i wear lycra .

the point is i wear my gimp outfit at specialist clubbing nights

not for cycling in 😆

I see – men should wear lycra to show off their packets then… 😆

I wear lycra shorts – under "proper" ones. No women like it on men – it's utterly repellent even if you have the body of a male supermodel.

Who cares what readers of the Guardian think anyway?

I wear lycra on the road and baggies off road. Function innit!

Surf Mat, you've not met that many women then?
