Lycra abuse

[BentMikey]

I nearly always wear lycra and often get teased for it, as unless you're a speedskater, it's roundly hated by most skaters here. This weekend, one of my female colleagues was like "Mike, can't you at least have brought a pair of jeans with you?". I answered "Why, can't you stop looking?". End of conversation, everyone was in stitches. Chuffed!!!

I know what you mean, my neighbour cant take her eyes off me crotch when i'm in the lift.

Hehehehe! It's not that my colleague actually looks, she doesn't, but more that for once I came up with an unanswerable comeback.

Funny.I do like lycra but dont wear it often.Used to be self conscious at one time.

Strange substance. Sometimes, no problem or even a nice sight.


Very easily gets the same rubbernecking potential as a 10 car pile-up

... one of my female colleagues was like "Mike ...

It's a good answer.
However, I presume what you meant here was not "was like" but "said".

But aren't your socks meant to be on your feet?

But aren't your socks meant to be on your feet?

And where precisely do you keep your spare tube?

When I started commuting into work at my last place - 60 mile round trip - I was of course on a road bike and full lycra - the women used to try to take the micky - more like wanting to see me in it...... I was in before them and usually had left after them so it was OK.....

You just have to get used to the abuse - just say you wouldn't go swimming without swimming trunks/suit on would you ?

Tsk, boys! It's not abuse ......


You're like painted porn stars

I look very fit and svelte in my gear I think, nothing but approving remarks from the girls here, the forum jersey has bent he final touch

Generally the only lycra I wear on my commute is the elastic in my pants. So it doesn't often get remarked upon...

 

[John the Monkey]

No comments from anyone here (other than people who like the Foska Marmite jersey). I must be doing something wrong

I like to get my girlfriend to give it a little rub before I leave so i don't look quite so much like a woman




All joking aside, I popped my own lycra cherry just the other day (I've never gone out without shorts over the top). Felt really weird - glad I didn't have to stop anywhere - but also meant that I was cold due to bib tights not having that second layer, I now understand why so many tights are unpadded for use over shorts!

I've had some very nice spontaneous compliments from female colleagues - who have then blushed and gone into pretty confusion.

All very flattering for a chap who has never considered himself particularly attractive.
