You look ridiculous.

[gavroche]

I was just about to go on a ride, all dressed in lycra , jersey etc.... when I said to my wife to possibly expect a delivery when I am out. "What have you ordered ?" she said. "Only some cycling glasses, they look cool." to which she replied; " You will only look even more ridiculous!" By the way, they are the glasses I mentioned in another thread and they haven't come yet.
Do you also get sarcastic comments from members of your family when you are dressed as a cyclist?

Of course. It's all part and parcel of us lycra'd up cycling God's.

Problem is, I agree with the sentiments. I'll only ever wear the dreaded lycra if I know I'm on a non-stop ride from home returning to home. Which isn't often.

 

[screenman]

Never.

I tend to never go in shops or stuff when lycra'ed up. On the MTB weekender in October, on the way back from Coed-y-Brenin (bikes on the car - soggy gear in the boot), we stopped off some 'supplies' at a small corner shop in Ffestiniog. Now, I was lucky enough to have some spare trackie bottoms, but one of 'the others' (not named - pay me money for the reveal ) only had a t-shirt and his lycra bibs available (we'd had to strip off the damp and muddy outer layers).

Given this was the middle of Wales, I thought he might get 'murdered' for dressing like that. He survived with his snacks, and I got a bottle of wine and an anniversary card for my folks (that I'd forgotten to get) so all was well.

 

[Drago]

Nope.

 

[matticus]

There's a lot of worrying what others think in this thread.

 

[PaulSB]

No.

Had a bit of a shocked "did you shave your legs?" many years ago.

Would be something said if I hadn't now

Well I know this is how I'd look:

Spoiler: Slightly naughty cartoon ahead.

Has to be said: Ladies look great in lycra. Gents look ridiculous.

You could delete the "in lycra" bit!

Who was this? Name names.....

Time for the photo of the bloke in the Lampre kit innit?

Probably better pics from the forum, bet we have some crackers.

Folks used to pass comment upon my tweed plus fours, but I've got a special glare now, for those who look like they might be about to start...
