men in tights?

Seriously yoda… we all get the idea that women wear tights and that cycling tights perform the same function and and have the same name. Maybe just perhaps you are beginning to labour the point?

I’ve just had a dig through his blog (Click his username) and it appears he has a rather limited vocabulary and feels the need to litter everything with profanities. He also enjoys taking pictures of men dressed like this

Which, apparently, is ‘Ferg the sexy bastard’

I think that’s all we need to know, really……

I’ll tell you the story behind why i wear tights…. During a commute home in December I needed to cross 4 lanes of fast moving traffic. While crossing, somehow my shorts snagged up on the nose of my saddle. Totally unaware of the snagging I gave it some to get across the dual carriageway and then up the kerb the other side, I experienced pain like never before.
I didn’t hang around to see what the problem was; I knew I’d just received an eye watering, stomach churning hit to the balls. I carried on for a few more yards until I realised I was bleeding.
It wasn’t until I pulled over and checked the damage that I then saw my own testicle.
That’s why I now wear tights.

I’d assumed yodagoat was some spotty prepubescent stain with a guilt complex about dressing up.

Takes all sorts I suppose

His blog supports that assumption.

Wear you’re wife’s tights with pride!

I am my wife’s tights? How does that work?

I hate it when schools are off!

plenty of fleecy knee tights available not seen any fleecy crotched ones tho

Really? I own 3 pairs of bib tights with fleecy stuff all over, including the crotch.

Baggies over lycra works a treat when you crash, much less skin abrasion in my experience 🙂

Always thought calling them tights was silly. I call them longs .

I’ll tell you the story behind why i wear tights..

No need

When you set off early for a long old ride, you need stay warm and dry whatever the weather throws at you, you also want clothing that isn’t restrictive and moves with your body and doesn’t act like a sail. If you’re just out for a fun ride, stop start social or something that involves a lot of walking,or you need something to cover pads then wear whatever you like.
Anyway tights look good on an athletic body, not so hot on our chubby legged friends.

GCR.

Thankyou, best answer to my post and im not being sarcastic….I may just treat myself to some 8)

So Yodagoat, tights is for wimmenz and trannies?

But you have a photos of yourself on your blog wearing what appear to be assless chaps while riding your bike? 😯

I guess that you belong to a subculture that likes chaps, then? In both senses of the word, or just one?

Peterpoddy, Are you saying Ferg isn’t a sexy bastard? I’ll have you know Ferg is sexy as ****.

JoeG, thanks for noticing. I’d just whipped my arse out for the photo. I do enjoy the odd ride on a Harley, and you probably know from my blog, so if you’re luck I’ll get some arseless chaps at somepoint. I’d try and grow a handlebar mustache too but I’ll have to wait a few years.
Tights are still for women and trannys though. Chaps are (mostly) for cowboys. Its OK to be a tranny.

Njee20, thanks for taking the time to read my blog. What was your favorite part? Was it the photo of that big bloke dressed as a barmaid?

Why does clothing create such debate? Really odd IMO. Wear what you like and what feels comfortable. I mix lycras and baggies, but favour the former because I find them more comfortable. And why the penis angst? Nobody is really looking and who cares (unless your the third Polish rider or our wife has been out posting ).

I’m in agreement…. Except for the penis and wife bit of course! :-/

bump.

As to why runners do not wear tights, well they do not go as quick so do not get as much windchill, plus they move their bodies more, creating more heat.

I started wearing tights/longs/leggings back in the seventies, Lutz track bottoms they were. The modern multi paneled, Roubaix material items we wear today are just the natural evolution.
Like everything I wear. Close fitting shoes, socks, jersey, jacket, gloves, hat. It’s all chosen for practicality and to assist forward motion
I have some Humvees. But I found them to have a few issues. they didn’t keep my legs warm, the back slipped down, they snagged my bike and were freezing when soaked through. I only wore them then to take my kids out when they were little.
However it’s nice to know that so many men have been looking at my legs for so long. To me they have always been just ‘trousers for cycling’ and not items of other mens surppressed sexual desires 😯

for someone who is so anti lycra (yet posts pictures of men in skin tight neoprene) you seem awfully keen to discuss men in lycra; in a boarder line homo erotic way yodagoat. Is there something you want to tell us? Were all friends here. No one will judge you; anymore than we already have at least.

Yeah, I’ve no idea how the ladies manage in all those flowing skirts and loose blouses, must be impossible. A burka? How do they wear it and walk forwards? 😉

Er, when it goes sub-zero I certainly wear running tights, albeit they’re a lot less insulated than the bike ones. Got some 3/4s which are great for 5º days, too. Above that temperature shorts are fine.

Have you tried riding a bike in a burka? Bloody nightmare, I can tell you.

That must be why they laughed when I turned up to race XC in normal ride gear, still more aero than some in lycra 😉

I do enjoy the odd ride on a Harley,

Oh, I missed that bit

Get a proper v-twin. 😛

I did a century into the headwind the weekend before last. It never got above about two degrees and was sleeting for most of the ride. I was toasty warm in my winter bib tights. The end.

Really? I own 3 pairs of bib tights with fleecy stuff all over, including the crotch.

good point, I should have said “extra insulation” or something. I’ve got roubaixs but they are too warm most of the time, whereas tights with double thick knees can cope with quite a large temp range, not too sweaty when it’s mild but keep your knees toasty in freezing temps. Brilliant!

except for the aforementioned issue when windchill is a factor.

Peter, I don’t own a Harley, I just occasionally borrow on! Give me a wee bit credit.

Ahh, just bi-curious are you then? 😉
Yours is the GS I take it?

Alex, I don’t think there is anything homo erotic about me pointing out the roadie/tranny comparison. I think it could possibly be you that has something to tell us all. Is there something you want to get off your chest? (probably you’re wife’s bra)

Aye, the blue and white 1150. Got an awesome C90 too.

This thread has given me the courage to reveal a dirty little secret I’ve been hiding…
Last summer I kissed a goat, and I LIKED it 😳
Anyone else who would like to “open up and share” 😉

I had a CG125 for a while, lovingly dubbed The Rocket. Actually a shocking thing to ride but hilarious at the same time and I used to get bored waiting to fill the petrol tank. 🙂
Had a sucession of Ducatis and Italian scooters too, amongst others. Currently got an ST3s and a Piaggio X10

The homo erotic reference was you calling a man in skin tight neoprene sexy. I am quite comfortable with the lycra that I own. I don’t mind saying that your wife’s underwear is also comfortable. She loves it when I put it on. In fact that is the reason she calls me because she says you only cross dress in clandestine circumstances. In the wardrobe giggling like a little girl apparently; and you thought that no one knew.

I’m not married Alex. But that’s quite the imagination eh? I bet you were “hoovering” or “getting changed” when you thought that one up.

probably you’re wife’s bra

You’re is a contraction of you are. You’ve just written “probably you are wife’s bra”, for the second time. It makes you look like a buffoon.

That, and the buffoon like behaviour.

Woops! Sorry about that. I’m spouting this pish from my phone while seeing an old friend off to the coast. Occasionally auto correct acts like a buffoon and ruins my grammar. Sorry if any offence was caused.

Peter, the mighty CG would be a machine I’d consider adding to my arsenal. I’ve just realised I’ve never ridden a Ducati, so that can be my dirty secret I’ll share.

You’re not married? Who would have thought it. Certainly not I after reading your blog. I mean you do seem quite the catch.

Also I feel I should point out that I am not married either; but that didn’t stop you imagining me hoovering up in my wife’s bra. Like I said earlier. Is there something you want to share with us. We are all friends and no one will judge you. I mean you have already penciled out a nice little sketch of your proclivities for us.

A few pointers for people that find the internet hard to use.

1/ If you insist on taking things too seriously online you will most likely end up in a sad place.

2/ Trolls are very very hungry and require a lot of text to survive,they also like sad places.

3/ If you feed trolls they will not go away.

4/ If you cannot decide what is trolling ,then why not lurk observe longer just to make sure before posting.

5/ If you are drunk and in control of a keyboard,ignore all the above .

Have a lovely day.
