How can you reliably tell when your lycra is becoming see through? This might seem odd, but just yesterday I was behind a bloke who's ass was clearly visible. Not a pleasent site. I was thinking of telling him, because perhaps he simply didn't know his backside was visible.

    That's what you think, i've seen people with lycra that's gone see through and matie's right, it is horendous :shock:
  • Is it see through, or being asked to cover to much with too little.

    Priceless! :-D
  • Some kits are worse than others for this (London Dynamo springs reluctantly to mind :!: ).

    Tell them, if it's happening. I've seen enough hairy bums in the last year to last me fora life time :shock: (it didn't take many!).

  • i've only got black bibshorts but have seen someone in white lycra and it came as a shock when he turned to face me and there it was! I could tell what religion he was! He'd have been arrested if a policeman was there! The sweat made the white transparant!!

    Anyone that wears white lycra and isn't getting paid to do it needs to seek help :p And yes it should be banned in chain gangs

    Difficult one really telling a stranger that his arse is showing, but sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and tell them. I know i was grateful when someone told me that a pair of my favourite bib shorts had become transparent.

    Didn't throw them away but they still see service on the turbo trainer.

    If your in doubt about yours you have to ask a close friend to check for you, Stefano's advice about asking the missus isn't really valid in my case because after i was told about my shorts i went home to tell the missus and her reply was "yeah they have been like that a while"

    I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.

  • The above pic is pretty much the view I had for about 30 mins of the L2B....

    Young athletic filly overtook me, and only the sight of her see through lycra (i could nearly see what she had for breakfast!) stopped me from gunning it past to reclaim my manhood!

    There I stayed for a while =D

    Had a similar site on Bristol's Biggest Bike Ride but the wearer wasn't as slim. I'd just got the image out of my mind after several months and this reminds me of it again and I've now got another few months of therapy ahead :(
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.
