I'm thinking of getting a pair of baggies. As one ages one notices how ridiculous lycra shorts look on anyone over 35.

I choose to ignore that remark, I look like a god!
Mercifully, as long as I don't come across any mirrors, I'm the only one who doesn't cop an eyeful of me in Lycra

You don't look in the shop windows as you go past?

Only bike shops and they're like a safe haven for the Lycra clad
It's all in the mind and in my mind I'm an Adonis.
It's for the same reason that I've had an understanding with the woman who cuts my hair for some time now - I continue to remain a loyal customer and for her part she doesn't do that thing they do with the mirror at the end!
See - not only am I an Adonis I also have a full head of hair

Snap... nor does she ask if I would like hair gel or hair wax anymore... she used to get the 'don't be so stupid' look for some time before she cottoned on.

So I spend time this morning looking at several pair of cycling shorts, before buying a pair of Altura bib shorts, show them to my wife and she gigles and says "it's a mankini" before singing a song from Gnomeo and Juliet (I believe one of the gnomes appears a-la Borat at this point in the film)!
I don't know why I bother sometimes.........

What bothers me is that you watched Gnomeo and Juliet.

Seeing as everyone in my family rides bikes for more than commuting Lycra is seen as the normal thing to wear when cycling.
