1st ride in proper cycle shorts

[Orange]

I'm an instant convert. Not so much the comfort, though that was fine but just the feeling of freedom in the legs, my thighs felt instantly stronger and encouraged a higher speed - knocked 4 minutes off my 15 mile route best time.

Felt slightly self-conscious as I opened the garage to wheel the bike out and wondered if the neighbours were watching and maybe tittering but soon forgot that once I was riding.

That's a step too far - I really could not (nor want to) do that!

I went from none lycra to bib shorts in about 2 weeks.

I get my colleagues heaving at the sight but it's functional.

I soon got over it when you realse the majority of (ususally road) cyclists are wearing similar gear so you just look like any other cyclists.
