Cyclists Tan!!

Kieran_Burns

I have a weird tanned blob on back of my right hand (only!) where the gap in the glove is.

I also have one leg darker than the other as my commute catches the sun on the same side of me each day.

It just looks very wrong

No, just no.
You are a cyclist and should wear your cyclist tan with pride

You can only claim a riders tan when the lines are still evident AFTER winter.

That is proof you were out riding last year

Clearly you don't live in Scotland!

I have rain lines is that the same thing - streaks of road grime! 8)

I've got good sharp lines on my arms and the top of my knees, but the calves and back of my legs are still fairly white...which is a pain!

Maybe I should put fake tan on until they tan over properly? :roll:

Good to know that there's another fan of the grubby knee look. I'm going to try riding down hills with my legs on the handlebars to get my shins to match.

Haha...my tan lines have gotten worse XD

It does look rather hilarious, and people who have seen me topless have laughed in bemusement :P

And - to the person who asked - yes, I want to see pics of topless men with cycling tans (Although I'm from Wales, so would actually prefer some sheep pics, but hey ho)

I to have silly tan lines my lower arms are tanned but not my hands. The only part of my legs that get tanned is the bit between my shorts and my knees the rest of my legs are white.
