Upset about my brother.

[Milzy]

My brother has been into cycling a year now and has completed two sportives. He’s older and much heavier than I. Although he’ll never be that quick I was proud of him.
The trouble is at the weekend he went out in the full Team sky kit including the socks and helmet. It’s bad enough been a MAMIL but to be a pro team kit w@**€¥ as well. It’s just embarrassing. People will say Steve Cummings has really let himself go now.

Give him some encouragement and get yourself a movistar kit,one size too small !

I was properly ready for a really sad tale of alcoholism, drugs, lost love, depression and I am therefore delighted to find this I do feel for you though.

Next time you visit him drive your car round wearing full nomex race suit, gloves, boots and helmet, all in the livery of tour favourite racing team or fag manufacturer. You can then show him what he looks like.

Does he have a satellite dush on his bike as well?

The last time i passed a guy in a movistar full kit he was walking up a hill

Hey I'm no fan of FKWs but if he feels better in it then live and let live.

Personally I feel lycra has no place outside of professional sports so weekend warriors and full on commuters make me shake my head.

Just casual shorts and t-shirt for me, others think I'm not a real cyclist or not trying hard enough.

Just get a photo of him with both hands on the drops - when he sees his gut touching the top tube he may reconsider his choice of kit. On the other hand, it never stopped me...

I do lycra. I'd give pair of casual shorts two weeks doing my commute, so its better I wear something that lasts and is comfy.

I had a puncture and no support car.

Depends what you do but if you put a bit of effort in then you sweat . Smelling of sweat is called BO so i would rather not put effort in when in normal clothes .

I get 3 years out of a pair of cargo shorts, even rubbing on my cambium.

My shorts are cotton and t-shirts merino.

Plus I change at work, bugger all sweat here as I get airflow
