    I can't understand why so many cyclists at this time of year,typically the 'club cyclist'' types, insist on wearing long trousers or tights as they call tem. I don't even own a pair of these horrible things and wear shorts all year round on the bike yet never feel the cold even in minus 4 deg. Thinking of a reason foir this perhaps it is because I have a fast metabolism or maybe that I carry a bit of my own 'insulation' and have a diet rich in iron- I drink four cans of Guiness every night and curries and pork pies are my favourite food so maybe this has something to do with it? Anyway I wear shorts for five a side football so there is nothing wrong in my mind with wearing them on the bike at 7am on my 4 mile commute.

    P'raps the rest of you need to mtfu.
    no your just an idiot :)

    my metabolism is fast also but i wear bib tights, my guess is you have more then one stomach? have fun thawing your bollocks out over a fire :P

    I know, I know, I really shouldn't but the temptation is too much.

    Don't drag me into this. I don't associate with self proclaimed "wimps" and liars..............

    I have done around 2000 miles in a pair of Northwave padded longs-but now a hole has worn through in the seat and the stitching in that area has completely worn away.

    Is this a normal lifespan for these garments or is it a case of you get what you pay for?

    (I have never slid down the road in them and my saddle is smooth as a baby's bottom )

    Epic, just epic...

    I was riding over towards Macclesfield this morning ((about 2.0 c) and I came across a group of riders who had ridden about an hour or so from the other side of East Manchester and one of them was in shorts
    He was telling me how welcome I would be with them :roll:
    I had 4 layers on top and tights

    So to summarise, Neilo23 is admitting to straddling an ironing board in the street wearing nothing but 2 pairs of his wife's tights. Now that's what I call extreme ironing. :wink:

    Don't laugh. I'm single at the moment and have to suffer the embarrassment of putting my dirty mac on and going into Marks and Sparks to buy my own tights. I always get strange looks. Maybe I should leave the ironing board at home (or at least carry it with my hands instead of between my thighs).
