My first pair of cycling tights arrived today. And now I'm a lady.

    :lol:

    Bananas are a good energy snack. I keep mine in the back pockets of my cycling shirts. Maybe you could keep yours somewhere else :wink: At least you'll start off as a man 8)

    Why does this bring to my mind the title of a Country & Western song? :?

    Did Kenny Rogers write it?

    Think of yourself as looking like Action Man instead if it makes you feel better.

    Admittingly I want some of this gear, but I'm not brave enough to take the plunge yet

    I'm always kinda embarassed when I go out in my cycling gear, but only for the first 5 mins until I get going. After that I kinda just forget. :)

    This reminds me of an old joke:

    A skinny chap was sun bathing on Malibu Beach, watching the hotties but getting no attention himself. He watched with envy as a muscle-bound bloke walked past, drawing the attention of every girl on the beach.

    In the end, our skinny friend walked up to the hunk and asked if he has any tips for attracting female attention.

    The hunk says "Don't tell anyone I told you this, but a potato down the trunks works wonders".

    Skinny boy goes to the shop, gets a spud and puts it down his shorts. He then struts off down the beach. This time he's attracting plenty of attention, but the girls all seem completely repulsed.

    He goes to find the hunk and asks him what went wrong.

    The hunk tells him "you're supposed to put the potato down the FRONT of your trunks"



    Eyethankyoo - I'm here all week. Try the veal. 8)

    The "shape" hiding front padding of cycling shorts \ tights is there for the protection of others, trust me other people done want to see you looking like THAT photo of the polish cycling / budgie smuggling team...

    God, that photo hasn't half done the rounds on the internet. It seems to pop up everywhere. :roll:

    Thanks for the moral support, dodgy pictures and jokes.

    I think what originally alarmed me was the fact that i had ideas of going to drop off my daughter at school and then ducking straight out of town for a ride.

    Basically lots of mums seeing me strut around in black tights and (thanks to the padding) a camel hoof gave me the willys lol
