    DDD what is it about you? You have such an aura of mystery about you. If only we could just find out a little about you.....

    (I don't really wear a Man boob bra).

    I don't know what to say Linsen, things don't seem to bother me like they do others. I'm completely comfortable with who I am and what I do and am willing/comfortable talking about things most find taboo.

    I guess that makes it seem like I have no social skills, but mixing socially and talking/bonding with people regardless of how different their lifestyle/social habits are (I don't judge people in that way) has never been a problem for me. - This is dependant on whether said person is willing to accept me for who I am.

    I will say this, you'll never get a proper idea of me from what I write on the internet. Its not that I'm being fake, its just that there is so much more to tell and it will all contradict.

    ANYWAY, that's far too deep and meaningful for me.

    BOOBS! Yes boobs.

    Question to the women cyclist.

    Don't you feel a little exposed when out on a ride (in summer) wearing tight lycra shorts and top?

    I went to my Nan's after a cycle and my time there was hugely uncomfortable (the fact that I was naked and wraped in lycra).

    A couple of years ago I wouldn't have dared. However two years of running has meant my cover-up clothes have been shed with my inhibitions. Necessity rules over shyness, and during ultra marathons, where I've changed clothes half way through a race, I've quite happily done so in public. Not *completely* naked mind. I haven't lost *all* dignity...

    And I have been known to shop in supermarkets in running gear. And after races I am frequently found in pubs in my sweaty muddy running stuff. It just means you get more room ;)

    I go commando on the bike and then put on boxers at work. I have forgotten a few times and gone commando at work too - no big deal!? Forgetting socks is worse as wearing work shoes without socks looks and feel swrong.

    I just wear normal shorts to cycle but have been thinking about getting some cycling specific shorts recently. Since getting my road bike i have been getting some pain in the nether regions and think it might be down to the less than comfortable ride the crown jewels get these days. Brixton bus ravaged tarmac and my saddle don't mix. Are padded cycling shorts worth the £££? Yours, blue balls...

    I bought a pair, unsure of their value. They paid for themselves the first time I went over some cobbles :twisted:

    I once went to very large public art exhibition in full Lycra gear and cycling shoes. My mum was there as my dad had painting on show. She never batted an eyelid as she's used to me but the only thing anyone else could say was, "have you been cycling?".

    Maybe they thought I was a piece of live art - or at least an eccentric artist.

    Now I think about it, I did look a bit of a nob :oops:

    sod em all. Im known for going into pubs in my riding gear, get some odd looks, breaks the ice with ladies mind you ;-).

    You get some interesting comments.

    Quite right woody, it was more the kaleidoscopic colour mixture of what I was wearing back then that upsets me in retrospect.

    I did used to get a lot of comments from the girls at work - and a shapely young lass in Lycra makes the heart beat a little faster...

    I must admit I am still too self concious to go out in the lycra alone even if riding, let alone anything happening after a ride like drinking or talking to other human beings.

    I'm sure that will disappear in time, just want the waist to go with it. hehe.

    When leaving my work building one night last week in all my winter lycra gear, one of the guys at work said to me -

    'you dont look like your going home you look like you are going to another planet'.

    Assos gear does look abit scifi though. I thought it was very funny...
