Lycra is gay

...or so I was reliably informed whilst out on Saturday's ride. The gentleman in question was of portly appearance, poor complexion, with ambitiously styled hair, you know the type. I'm not one to normally take these kind of comments seriously, but as the remark came from the rear window of that icon of masculinity, the Vauxhall Corsa, I feel compelled to give it due consideration.
Or was it simply like the gel in his hair, cheap and rather pointless?

I'd put a sock down your shorts next time you're out riding....

My wife tells me that lycra is only of interest to other males.

He was confused. It's dumbledore that's gay. Dumbledore is a completely different fabric, not as stretchy as lycra but with better insulation qualities.Where the neon madmen climb0

It can't be gay as my wife always letches over pro riders. She even likes me in lycra and no way no how do I look remotely like Tom Boonen.
Actually I like Victoria Pendleton, Nicky Harris, etc. in lycra so it isn't even gay in reverse.You hear that? He's up there... mewing in the nerve centre of his evil empire. A ground rent increase here, a tax dodge there? he sticks his leg in the air, laughs his cat laugh... and dives back down to grooming his balls!0 -

I quite like lycra on blokes, esp my husband, but I think some of the pros (well, the ones I see on the tour de france) look a bit skinny, even Tom Boonen.0 -
My friend always says that lycra is gay and pointless.... athough when I dragged him out on a 40 mile cycle since we were both bored it was a different story. I actually caught him pricing cycling shorts the next day lol.0

It isn't nice when you're behind the lycra buns of another cylist at the lights!0

Title is absolutely correct!
LYCRA is the London group for gay cyclists!<b><i>He that buys land buys many stones.

And beware of lighter-coloured materials which can go semi-transparent when wet! One or two of my clubmates inevitable discovered this after the club's kit had been designed and ordered; no-one realised it was going to be a problem beforehand :oops: . Funnily enough the kit has since been re-designed again using predominantly dark colours for the bibshorts.....

poofter eh?
In all seriousness it's generally blokes who I've seen in lighter shorts, the girls would be much more aware of any potential crackage. I did tell my mate after a little cycle together that his were a little stretched and he should move up a size, he said that explained why I was pushing the pace more than my fair share Purveyor of sonic doom

Thinking about crackage, I have no idea how I managed to get myself into wearing lycra for cycling due to mental trauma as a kid.
When I was a kid in the 80's my Dad ran the Bedford Marathon. A couple of the leading ladies in the race were friends and it seemed had shared a stomach bug...... anyway they'd decided to run that day in those tight small running shorts that ladies wear, and chosen white as the colour of choice.
There I was applauding them in the finishing straight, and then noticed the carnage that had visibly happened in their shorts, to not one of them but both! They certainly hadn't had the presence about them to manage a Paula... :oops:0 -
Just don't strike a pose like this when 'out' on your bike :shock:

I never actually saw what paula did - I always assumed that it was a wee but now you've got me thinking that it might have been something else :P (what is the razz emoticon for?)0 -
