You can see my pecker...

When I wear the lycra shorts or tights you can clearly see the outline of my pecker. What can I do about this?

This is genuinely not a troll question and I am not hiding a python down there either just an average pecker. But the outline is so clear that its embarrassing. I j is people might say just let it be seen but at a café stop in the local garden centre people don't want me running around withit clearly visible.

Is there any way around this? Anyone else with this?

I feel like I'm going to have to wear baggier shorts over the top ?

Cheers , thank you.

    Some shorts have pads which come higher in the front, for dignity purposes... The DHB shorts I have come high-ish, my Assos come a fair bit higher, and I have some old De Marchis where the pad ends so low you'd be able to tell if I was circumcised.

    Cheers thanks for the honest sensible reply. Didn't know if I was just going to get abused for asking. I'll ha e a look at DHB shorts then? Glad I'm not the only one who has related to this issue.

    To be honest, most decent modern shorts should have a pad that comes far enough up at the front and is thick enough such that this shouldn't be a problem. Vague bulge yes, details no..

    There have been some shockers in the past though...

    Last weekend's ride averaged 1 degree C. I can assure you that we had no such problems then. Perhaps the answer is simply to restrict riding to the winter season?

    Are you sure? Have you asked them? Maybe the little old garden centre Nannas having their tea and scones on a Sunday morning quite fancy a bit of pecker peepage! Hehehe.

    Sorry, I can't be of any more assistance. I unfortunately don't have this problem.... :oops:

    Make sure you only wear black shorts, buy a decent brand. I had some blue Aldi shorts that I could only wear as undershorts or turboing in the privacy of my garage because a combination of the colour, thin lycra and small pad meant they would have had be up on a charge if worn in public.

    Coloured shorts or longs are a huuuuge mistake.

    I don't see any issues really. What did you think otherwise cyclists do - you don't see club cyclists getting changed before nipping into a cafe. Just get over it. Nobody's interested and the Nana's in the garden centre haven't got great eyesight.

    I totally disagree. I want to feel and look descent. I am not an arrogant person who thinks f**k everyone else. I have a little daughter and the last thing I would want to see if we was out for breakfast is a bunch of blokes walking in with clearly visible peckers. To be honest I'm a cyclist and I would think they just look ridiculous and not good.

    I totally get the point into he material being alot more comfy then others for riding in, hence why. I wear it. But I want to look respectable while I do and not like some knob jockey... literally.

    I think you might have some issues you need to address if you're looking at blokes crotches all of the time.

    I just know how the general public view road cyclists to start with. I personally don't want to be more of a target for them buy walking around with my pecker on show. Don't think that's over thinking it just wanted any tips or tricks to make it more descent

    You seem to think that all cyclists are walking or riding around with a target on their back. Not sure where you live but that's not the case here in Sotland. Sure the occassional motorist is a dick but not everyone.

    As I said you are overthinking it. If you are showing a (small) bulge most folks will simply avert their eyes.

    Their are worst sights out there given the penchant for larger ladies to wear leggings and yoga pants (prepared for the flaming).

    I agree small bulge is fine. I just didn't think it was right when I was looking down and could see the full outline of my todger.
  • This is bordering on the ridiculous now.

    Have you ever thought about Zwift? It’d save you a lot of stress imo.

    Because you do sound a lot like one.

    I have but is it really fair to my neighbour? The only place I could put the setup is in the conservatory and sure it wouldn't be nice for them to see me all sweaty and pedalling eveeytime they look out there window

    Next time you are doing a ride and planning a cafe stop, take one of your kids soft toys. Something like a small teddy and shove it down the front of your shorts before you go in to the cafe.
    Problem solved.

    Why are you so worried about everyone looking at you?

    I do not know what the problem is . About half the population have a pecker,as you call your dick. I have one when I start a ride but by the end it has disappeared. Unless you have a dick like a donkey nobody will notice.

    Fold it back between your legs and tuck it in to your arse crack.
  • Is this post for real?

    A) get over it
    B) stop stopping at cafes and crack-on thru
    C) if you have to stop, stop at known cyclist cafes in your manor where nobody gives a feck, or if they do GAF, your pecker ( :roll: ), will be one of many on-show...
