I've never felt sorry for lycra before!

Kieran_Burns, I hope you ain't in danger of being done for lycra cruelty like this bloke (poor bib shorts).
Sorry(ish) for appropriating your sig.

    Part of me thinks 'oh my word'.

    Part of me thinks 'well if someone that size wants to wear lycra they should be able to buy lycra that fits them. I see a gap in the market.'

    The exact reason I wear running shorts or baggies over my lycra shorts (the look and the reaction of everyone).

    Are you sure he's not testing the new prototype air bags for riders?

    Do you have a history of PED*-abuse?

    I suppose with his increased frontal area, he would need all of the aerodynamic assistance that lycra can give more than most of us. I bet he shaves his legs for the same reason.

    Have you seen the full pic? He's wearing socks and sandles as well. He is the ultimate in dressing faux pas.

    Being a chunky rider I get kinda scared this is how I look. I tend to try to stay away from lycra for that reason. Undershorts are the way forward I say.
