I was going to put my pic in lycra up, but the ladies on here would swoon !

Do it you know you want to, oops hold up im off to bed in a bit, i really could do with not seeing it. lol

Forget about what people say!! Forget what your wife says!
My other half has employed a list of jokes about nappies (padded cycling tights)..
Cycling in tights is the only way! Nobody ever came back from the Lycra Bliss Land.

For what is worth, I find men in lycra seriously hot as well..

Fluffles speaketh the sense.
5'7", 44" waist, mumble mumble kilos and yes, I wear lycra.
Hells teeth, I even wore lycra while touring on the Brompton.
And I didn't look in the least bit ridiculous.
(May contain traces of lie)
Women in lycra look good. Very very good

I would post my (dance) lycra but PhotoBucket said it violated their terms for adult content and deleted it!

Vernon - I've just bought the same jersey! Not tried it yet though.

Oh - and I started out by wearing baggy stuff over the lycra until I hit 12 stone, then it all came off.

Ok i went to Sigma Sports to try some clobber on, and i tried L Castelli and L & XL Assos and i know im a Large now and the Assos felt a lot better fit but i prefer the look of the Castelli, but comfort first i guess.
I only tried Castelli jerseys on and the climbers one was not a nice fit(no stretch), i tried the Aero race jersey and it felt nice but i looked abit of a pleb in it, i also tried the Prima one on and it felt a lot better.
Unfortunatly they didnt have much spring/summer stock, but atleast i sort of have an idea now.

 

[DRHysted]

I find bib shorts, or tights are L, jerseys are XL, knee warmers are M.
I tend to use the DHB range (wiggle) as I find them comfortable for me.

Can I suggest that if you're aiming to lose weight you should buy 'basic/cheap' kit now - otherwise in a couple of months they'll look like you're wearing a sack!

My first lycra was from eBay/Tenn VERY cheaply bought with clashing colours etc. However, I'd bought an expensive 'target' jersey which wouldn't even go over my shoulders at the start ... well expensive for me . By the end of the summer it fitted nicely.

All of it?

 

[Hover Fly]

She does have a point. However if you are more concerned about how you ride a bike than what you look like, go for it.

I would like to point out that Bunny has been out this morning buying lycra with Mme Syrphe and is now trying it on

 

[Nearly there]

I think I look damn fine in my lycra
