Men in tights

What is the deal with women blatantly staring at ones 'credit crunch' whilst wearing tights, I was amused the first couple of times but now that someone actually touched my leg I'm becoming a little uncomfortable exposing my lycra clad self in public. :shock:
I've noticed a few cyclists donning the bright coloured lycra shorts over tights, is that to camouflage the various bulges or just to show off team/club kit.
I feel so cheap and used :roll:

I simply remove my rucksack and carry it when in the office. But I've never been bothered about the leg touching thing - as long as its just women I knowBike1

if thats all it takes for a bit of action...I'm looking for my tights tonightFCN = 12 (er.......is that bad ?)0

I don't mind it. I'd definitely take a good look at them if they were in tight clothing, just take it as a compliment.
Leg touching might be going a bit far though...0 -
It happens occasionally - even a lesbian friend openly admitted to checking it out! But not as often as I'd like. I get compliments on my legs every now and then.0

It's even more worrying when your male colleagues say things like "blimey, you've got better legs than my misses!". :oops:Pictures are better than words because some words are big and hard to understand.

Now I have a more suitable bike myself and a friend of mine have started to go out cycling alot, more. He takes his cycling very seriously...in fact to the point where he cycles road races for the Royal Navy (he's an RN officer anyhow) but we do go out on the occassional 'easy' ride as he refers to it (they kill me but hey)
Anyway I knew him previous to the cycling malarkey, so always saw the normal posh bloke, but the cycle shorts were a surprise to the point where I didn't think before I spoke and blurted out 'Bloody hell, nice!'
embarrassed wasn't the word, but in a short answer to the question...yes we girls do get a good lookOfficers don't run, it's undignified and panics the men0 -
Where do you guys work, I'm obviously missing out
It's obviously even spread to Bristol, but it's yet to get to Greenwich, I've been waiting years to sexually harrasedpain is temporary, the glory of beating your mates to the top of the hill lasts forever.....................

Ooh err, I think if I was to find myself the subject of attention in my gear the result would be rather apparent :oops:'Twas Mulga Bill, from Eaglehawk, that caught the cycling craze....0

The final straw for me was hearing an, "Oi!", behind me and getting my picture taken, by a complete stranger, on a mobile phone camera when I turned round.itboffin wrote:I've noticed a few cyclists donning the bright coloured lycra shorts over tights, is that to camouflage the various bulges or just to show off team/club kit.itboffin wrote:I feel so cheap and used :roll:A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject - Churchill0 -

The only time I have been sexually harrasses was wearing a DJ in Ritzys in Nottingham many moons ago. Lucky to get out of there alive, shudder.Short hairy legged roadie FCN 4 or 5 in my baggies.

I'm not quite sure how I'd take this.......I guess another way to look at it is it can't be much worse then a large breasted women getting sick of men constantly talking to her chest ;-) Heck on the way home in the car last night there was a young lady running down the pavement and she CERTAINLY wasn't wearing a support top.......poor girl damn near had black eyes :shock: Yes I looked, but I don't think any heterosexual male couldn't have!
Personally speaking I can't say I've ever noticed anyone blatantly staring at my "credit crunch" but then for my commute I'll generally have something over the lycra.0 -

Not wanting to get all emmeline pankhurst on you guys but yeah, hmmmm...
Actually, I'm guilt-tripping you. Take it as a compliment, unless they're laughing. Then take it as an insult!0 -
thats one reason i tend to wear baggies as i feel being able to answer left or right is too much information, but i think these shorts are a little thin and clingy there....0

I've been banned from wearing just lycra in the office, so now wear baggies over the top! Not that I paraded around in lycra all day of course, merely upon arrival and departure!

Yeah, right, you clearly spend ALL DAY in lycra checking yourself out in the mirror. We're all friends here, you're only kidding yourself.0 -
It's for the good of my female colleagues, especially the new girl! 1st impressions and all that...

I once got wolf whistled by some Brickie types in a transit van, they were purple with embarrassment when they saw my stubble bearded face!
I almost fell off my bike laughing.0 -
I'll hold a backpack or cycle helmet in front of the smuggled budgie when I'm clumping about the office in lycra and SPDs, saves embarrassment all round I guess.
Belfast lasses must be very reserved generally though, as I've yet to be whistled at or groped in the street. Obviously they want to, they're just shy. Still, shorts weather is coming and the sight of my hairy man pins will no doubt overcome all inhibition. I'm sure that's how it'll go, yes.Today is a good day to ride0 -
Yes the alleged summer....
Are those cool Castelli bib shorts going to look as good as I thought with a pair of bright white yeti legs attached? :roll:Rule #5 // Harden The Feck Up.

I guess this is a question of etiquette.....In which case, do you stare at the crotch and glance away when clocked or do you avoid all eye contact altogether and run away?
From the comments on here, I am gonna start wearing my 3/4 bib shorts in Tramps discotheque......bring it on!0 -
