I was bored and posted "Experiment: First Pair of Baggy Shorts" in the General Discussion forum, and found a large number of people (both male and female) offended by standard black lycra tights. I was shocked!
Perhaps it is that the majority are Americans, who on average are more conservative than Canadians. Most surprising, was that there are a number of men who are offended by riding with other men wearing lycra tights :eekster: . Does this hit a hot button with anyone here?? Or is it a matter of personal preference what we wear, and we Canadians could not care less what others wear (short of seeing someone ride with cut-outs exposing hairy bare buttocks, as witnessed at one 24 hour race :yikes: :ciappa: ).
Anyway, I am trying to get used to my first pair of baggies, which feel like wearing a skirt (not that I have much experience with that
). The extra big air scoops do feel kind of tingly when the wind blows across my private bits .
But I would like to know if wearing my tights causes some people to keep their distance from me .
