Office clothes or Lycra to get the blood racing

Another classless thread by me.

So today I sit in my office and one of my work colleagues decides to arrive in a pencil skirt, fitted shirt with the top two buttons open - which hints but never delivers at cleverage and sends the imagination running a million miles to crazy - black tights and heels, not just any heels the 'leave'em'on' kind...

Time was this was the reason I loved going to work and being at work, office clothing clad young professional women.... Mmmmmmm

But then I started cycling and today there was a lady on a Trek road bike with tri-bars, with lovely road shoes delicately surrounding two most beautiful ankles, tight lycra 3/4 lengths and shorts over the top. The effect was to turn her legs into fine perfect sculptures. Her jersey perfectly glazed over her chest and floated onto what was a firmly flat stomach.

So I got to thinking, Office clothing women or Lycra clad bike riding ladies? What is your poison?

Ladies can answer this too, if you want just substitute ladies for men in your comparisons.

A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game

    I'm not as shallow and superficial as you, I can look past the bike and objectify the women on top of it.... :wink:

    I dunno, I quite like me a pair of tights (on a women - I'm not giving either of the Greg's or Clever Pun that one). Dark ones, high quality, adds to the imagination....

    They are not very hygienic for one, and furthermore uncomfortable and always falling down. Stockings are OK, but only in cold weather. Hold-ups are a misnomer - they don't hold themselves up for long.

    to be truly classless you should have offered us a "flabby, pasty muffin top, hanging over velour leisure suit" option
