Lycra in the office

[Auntie Helen]

It will probably be a source of great enjoyment and a morning lift to your colleagues. Parade in all your lycraed glory!

Was on the train tonight, it was very crowded, and I was wearing my bib shorts and leg warmers. The woman adjacent to me, spent a good 10 mins studying my package. It was quite disconcerting.

Dress so it is obvious you cycled I.e. carry the helmet and all etc

helmets, carried nonchalantly at just below waist height, do have their advantages

(later edit. I might regret writing that....)

take some thin trackie bottoms with you to put over your shorts before you enter the office

The office is open plan and home to around 250 mainly female staff. I have to walk through reception and past about 50% of the staff to get to the loos.

Look them in the eye as you walk past & i bet not many will be looking you in the eye
I don't often walk much in the lycra, but the other week was walking around Hull centre in my lycra & i noticed how many women were looking down below Not that there's much to see in my case

Stick an armadillo down the front. They'll all be too scared to look a second time.

Or just do what Chuffy dose. Go and get some doughnuts

I saw one of my staff in the supermarket and she came up and handed me a banana and two oranges, "For your shorts."

Huh! Some people have all the luck.

i've had the embarrassment of sitting at my desk in z peugeot kit because i forgot my locker key and so had no trousers to put on… the wife arrived with the key after half an hour.

Do it as if it is nothing different or unusual.
If people say anything then report it to HR as harrassment.

 

[spandex]

He is the new bee so it will not be a problem.

Well I finally got round to commuting in by bike today. Its been a busy few weeks so I've only just got the chance.

20 miles of rolling Cheshire lanes followed by the climb over Mow Cop and the descent into Stoke. Lovely weather too today. 62 miles in total.

My arrival in full lycra was disappointingly low key; in fact if it wasn't for the clippety clop of my cleats on the suspended floor, I don't think I would have been noticed at all. The shower was a mere trickle but I should be grateful for that given some people have to do the babywipe thing.

Looking forward to many more commutes this summer, might get a better reaction from the laydeez when the tights come off.....
