what is a lycra lout

[Tin Pot]

I ask, as I'm afraid I might be one.

I pretty much understand the many forms of cyclists that exist but have always been puzzled by this one.

I mean, I wear lycra and ride a road bike. I ride in a group and often use the activity for sport.

Am I a lout and if not, at what point do I risk ascension?

1. Skinny
2. Wearing Lycra
3. Moving too fast for the situation/environment
4. (Optional) Loudly opinionated

I'll only ever qualify for one of these, so I'll never be a Lycra lout.

Yep, kids commented on that too, flat cap (grey) too

Flat Cap?
I should coco.. beige baseball cap

 

[jonny jeez]

(i) Fat
(ii) Baggy shorts and a t-shirt
(iii) Getting slower by the day
(iv) I'm sure I have an opinion but my encroaching senility means I struggle to remember it.

You're safe

Adjective: A collective term that has come into being to describe those who, more often than not clad in figure-hugging brightly coloured stretchy materials, flout road laws and common sense, by riding their bikes on public roads (and pavements/side walks) without any consideration for other road users and/or pedestrians.
Examples of Lycra Lout behaviour include running red lights (both road junction and pedestrian crossing points), vulgar gestures and language to almost anyone who gets in their way, and sometimes even unwarranted and unprovoked violent behaviour towards anyone having the gall to question their actions (esp. pedestrians and motorists).
