  1. Yes, you read it right. Happened to me yesterday...

    Riding along, come up to a rotary and I yield to a polic officer, he passes then I go, he cuts me off then without a signal, I veer off the left, pedal hits the ground, I slip, fall partially, shorts tore.

    Didn't notice it at first, but after a few minutes I noticed it was quite 'drafty'. I felt behind my leg and realized my butt was revealed and half my hamstring. I had to turn around and go home... I was cursing that police officer all the way home.

    Let me just say, as I was pedalling up hills, I felt violated...

    Luckily, more than one pair of spandex. Word.

    This happen to anyone else? A tear revealing something 'precious'?

  2. Hasn't happened to me yet - thankfully. I think about it every now and again and wonder what I'd do. I guess a lot depends on where the rip is and if it stands to get worse! :eek:

    I guess poor Iban Mayo can relate to your predicament. His rip happened during the Tour's Stage 3.

    Last night I noticed my knicks are about to wear through. The
    lycra just above the chamois on the '[censored]' side is see-through..

    That's payback for those dodgy motorists! 🙂

    I also think I ripped holes in the side with my fingernails.. no
    crash damage to knicks yet.. plenty of destroyed t-shirts
    and a few pairs of 'normal' pants though.

    hippy
