Apparel peril

You're most likely a troll, as most "serious" cyclists outside of big
city commuters, use at least an item or two of specialized apparel, but
I'll bait: yeah, good cycling shorts should suck the sweat right out of
your crack. Happy now?

Sure -- don't be so serious. Leave "funny" stains instead.

Are you referring to the new Rorshach short liners where the moisture
magically turns bloo? I see a camel eating chow mein, FWIW.

You bet. Bike shorts have a built in diaper. Not to mention total
comfort while riding a bicycle.

Thank you, the most useful reply person.

I'm sure there are thousands of choices. Could you (or anyone else)
point me towards something functional but cheap?

Oh, and comfort is not an issue. My butt can handle the stress.

On what? Oh, you mean "Depends."

I suggest you put a fried egg on the seat at the start of your ride. I
assure you when you get off, no one will notice perspiration.

No one's gonna touch THAT.

Well many of us here never compete, well sometimes with ourselves, but I
put money that almost all the regulars here own at least a few items of
cycling clothing.

If you ride in hot weather you will sweat, unless you ride like a little
girl. Cycling apparel will help.

How can you be a "serious cyclist" and not own bike shorts? Either you're
one tough hombre, or we have different definitions of "serious".

Are you referring to the new Rorshach short liners where the moisture
magically turns bloo? I see a camel eating chow mein, FWIW.

I in fact once had a pair of MTB baggies whose blue dye had
a propensity to migrate from the fabric, onto me. I think I
was blue in areas where members of the Blue Man Group aren't.

Washing those shorts would turn the water to a similar
colour as those picturesque lagoons in the Maldives.

cheers,
Tom

The Village People would. And that's a lot of no one.

I am a "one tough hombre". The ride should be easy only in a
competition. Otherwise, the more challenging the better.

So far, it's just 11 posts discussing my hombreness. But not enough
direct and helpful answer.

Well why don't you wear a skirt. Let it fall dawn around the seat rather
than sit on it when riding. Then when you dismount - hey presto - all the
wet patches will be covered. Nobody will bat an eyelid.>

I had a pair of Gaerne shoes which, even after five years, would turn my
socks and/or feet a fetching shade of pink every time it rained...

Never play leapfrog with a unicorn.

That is a rather pointless question. Just make up a number; there's no
guarantee that I won't. Right?
