Guys – would you, seriously …..

I’m a delicate flower and witnessed a shocking scene earlier.

So … I saw a roadie wearing full-length white lycra tights. 😯 He either doesn’t give a stuff due to his fab physique or he’s out to impress the ladies and perhaps men too.

My question to you chaps is would you wear the same? 😆

No way, I wouldn’t be seen dead riding a road bike.

My question to you chaps is would you wear the same

I couldn’t, I have to wear something loose below the waistline and above the knee, too obscene otherwise.
😉

No. Can’t imagine why on earth you would; unless someone was paying you a LOT of money to do so!!

Never. EVER.

They look particularly fetching when wet.

Had the misfortune to get stuck behind someone in similar attire a few weeks back. It looked like two little bald men fighting over kiwi fruit in a flour sack.

If he is a sponsored pro then it is acceptable, otherwise, just run him over and call it a mercy killing.

not without serious financial incentive

There was a mountainbiker in Callander in full white lycra last week 😕

Mind, he was buff, unlike me. 😕

White tights = Swan Lake.

lycra……..maybe now i am reshaping myself
white……..no

Nope, have you seen the Lynx adverts and the men getting mobbed by gorgeous women. Well when I lycra that’s exactly what happens to me. Ok not exactly as they’re all laughing at my spindly legs but in my head that’s what is happening.

Then your alarm clock sounds.

Is that what he had? If so, good luck to him; if you’ve got it, flaunt it

no no and again, thrice no.

but then at lunchtime today I did happen to followed a woman up the escalators who had those black ‘wool’ tights on, very transparent and was clearly wearing a black G string underneath. Look my dear they arent leggings, they are tights. I can say I’ve seen better but it could have been SOOOOO much worse. lol.

yes, but only with a cape and a mask

Shorts should always be black. The only acceptable deviations from this satorial rule are skinsuits (debatable anyway) and ridiculously bright DH Pjamas.

Twice in the past week, whilst commuting home, I’ve seen a guy out cycling with what looks like a one-piece lycra body suit. 90% white. On an MTB too, not obviously a ‘roadie’. Mad fool. 😀

I have white shorts – they accentuate ones tan*… And I have black and white ones that make my thighs look like a brace of killer whales racing through an ocean of manly thighness.

*Doesn’t work with full length tights…

Never in public.

Brilliant replies and pic, thanks all. 😀

Should really have turned the car round but not sure whether I could cope with such excitement. 😉

He was on his own … funny that!

It was me 😳

Oh yes id wear them if they had rapha on id also pay 300 for them.

Did he have a tache

Following several embarassing lycra episodes, I now ride only in a burqa- otherwise passions become inflamed.

Shorts black as per #14. I would only therefore have black winter bottoms

I have a habbit of wearing pristine white clothes when cleaning locomotive fire boxes, going to dig days and mosh pits, hence any white clothing I own is now stained. – Actually I started mountain biking in a white T shirt, after a very short while it looked horrid and from that T-shirt came my forum name.

Would I wear white lycra – yeah for a laugh, being 6’1″ and skinny I’ll look like a streak of…..

Maybeees he was a Triaffleet 🙂

Not sure if you were being serious there patriotpro but just in case you were….

So, WERE you impressed?? 😉

White leggings I hear…?

Ha ha ha ha ha 😆

Not white leggings, but I do posses a full white set of shorts and shirt. It makes me look fast and I have nothing to be ashamed of down stairs. If the girls can’t keep theirs eyes off, I have no problem with that :p

Ooh, a discussion about non-black lycra.
Any excuse to post this one again. If you’ve got it, flaunt it. 😛

Just scroll down the page on this…

My vote is for the 2nd from right, wonder if there’s any horse meat in that mixture?

only on a night out… never on the bike

I have black running tights that I wear on the road bike when it’s cold. White seems a step too far though 😆
