It's the skinniness of many pros that make them look gay

hi guys,

i dont where this idea originated of cycling being gay, and riders are
'gay' too, if not anything else...why would ppl think such a thing. we
ride and wear clothes that serve a prupose. what the hell are people
thinking anyway? its sick.

Quick Question: did you flunk out of school in 4th or 5th grade?!?

I'll bet it's not the bike, or the clothes. Maybe it's just you. Are
you sure you're not giving out any little hints? You know, something
to pique guys' interest?

You'd probably have more luck with another approach, because in my
observation bicycles make women seem sexier, but they make men seem
less so. Maybe it's just me.

I had one guy in college who was interested in cycling but was
concerned that the clothes were "gay" and the leg shaving in
particular. I have no idea what sort of thing he thought gays were up
to, but my argument of "nobody'll think you're gay, and anyway who
cares?" didn't persuade him.

As for attention from women, I recall riding up through Manhattan early
on Saturday mornings with a crew from Brooklyn on our way to the races
in Central Park. We would ALWAYS get catcalls and other attention of
that sort from party-girls on their way home from clubs. They didn't
seem to think we were gay! If we rode up West End avenue and went that
way the hookers would get in on the act too, and not just the trannies!

You know, you could have pointed out that there's never a need to shave
anything, and that the shorts can be worn as underwear. While it's
true that plastic cycling togs aren't at all gay in the homosexual
sense, they are certainly quite gay in the grade-school vernacular
sense.

The jerseys-- now those I've never understood. Seems to me like folks
mainly use cycling jerseys to proclaim sponsorships they haven't got.
T-shirts are way cheaper and more comfortable, and by wearing one even
a cyclist can pass for a normal human being.

Plain jerseys are usually cheaper than replica pro team kit. Still not
as cheap as T-shirts, but the pockets, zips, wicking fabric all make
them a better choice.

BTW, the girl who had her hand up my kilt last night didn't think my
shaved legs were gay...

And you don't look so silly! I never see anyone around here in replica
pro-kit. Either plain, or club stuff.

Did you look up her kilt to make sure (s)he wasn't up to any funny
business? ;-)

I like my homos on pita, maybe with some tahini on the side. That's a
nice dish.

It's the best kept secret in cycling. Women love men in clothes that
don't leave anything to the imagination. Why wouldn't they? Us male
types are the same way.

Yes, I made a thorough visual and manual check :-)

Not that I would have minded either way...

Eww. TMI, KC, TMI.

Interesting thread....if you live in the United States, most people
would associate cycling with soccer or tennis or golf, "white boy" or
"girly" sports, as they would say, and ridicule it compared to
basketball, football and baseball, however in Europe, cycling and
soccer are the "man sports" to be in and play....if someone calls a
cyclist a "[censored]", chances are that person is at a stage in his/her life
where he/she is in economic despair with no active sex life, venting
his/her frustration out on someone who has a nice expensive shiny bike.
:-) thats why I love to ride my bike through the worst part of town
and have a gloating smile on my face :-)

Yeah, they spend more money on a jersey in order to sport the logo(s)
of a sponsor(s) they don't have. What's up with that? Walter Mitty-ism?
Something else?

I hardly ever use the pockets while riding, but the wicking,
non-absobant fabric (holding moisture is cotton's downfall, IMO) and a
nice l-o-n-g zipper are good features. And no logos, please!

so true...this country is quite backwards in many ways......

apparently being fat, bald, and out of shape is true Americana....
