I am very much self concious of what I am wearing and I want to know if other cyclists would appreciate what I am wearing if I wear that...


PS are there any special bandages we can wear around our knees to keep them warm?

Oh my god the paving slabs will be flying soon!

Who cares what you look like, if your warmand dry that's all that matters, drivers and pedestrians NEVER see cyclists coming anyway.

I remember my first time in lycra, yes you think everyman and his dog is looking at you, but trust me after the first ride in "proper" cycling kit you'll wonder how your bits managed before, now it dosn't trouble me one bit, [censored] I even shave my legs now, so go on try it you wont look back,
and if you still need extra warmth for your knees try neoprene knee supports they work a treat

Hey, I used to be really worried about the skin tight stuff, but you soon get really sick of sweaty, wet, flappy old clothes when riding. You have to look good, or at least think you look good when out killing the miles and building the fitness. Let's agree, you don't do down shopping in the high street in your lycra shorts and bright polyester jersey. But the skin tight gear is so much better when on the bike than the alternative! Oh, by the way, the girls look so much better in it than the guys!!!

Go for it!

Some do, some don't. But they are always functional.

Yes, they are called "knee warmers" (see Google).

Rather depends on the body you put in it. I'd look like a sack of potatoes.

Not if you want to look nice. I have no self conciousness about the way I dress for cycling. I don't
care what I look like as long as I'm comfortable. That's why my wife won't come with me.

Who cares? They're very comfortable, which is what matters.

My bib tights are the most useful items of cycling clothing I've ever bought. You can get ones that
come higher around the chest and back than those shown on Wiggle. They're even warmer.

Do your really want other cyclists to "appreciate" what you're wearing?

If you wear a base layer and jacket with them and, I don't think you'll get a second look.

On the other hand, if you're thinking about wearing them with nothing else...

Skintight body clothing is best suited to nubile young women, I can't continue this, must finish
putting this Catrike together so I can chase some women.

I have a pair of these Endura Thermastat Bibs and you probably won't need knee warmers with them
till it becomes exrtremely cold, they have been too warm for me sometimes when it's been snowing!

Cheers, Robert

At the risk of encouraging you to mention Catrikes at every possible opportunity, I was wondering
how you pronounce the name. Is it Cat-rike, See-Ay-Trike, Ker-Trike, or some other variant?

It is Cat Trike, as in cat suit, mmmmmm, getting distracted again, this talk of skin tight clothing
is probably to blame for my cassette tool exploding this morning.

The braces don't tend to try to fall off the shoulders either.

As for the original question - I use bib shorts or longs, with a thermal base beneath in winter, and
something on top. They are quite comfortable, and don't suffer "builders' bum" or cold bits in the
small of the back.

With thinner stuff on top (summer) you can see the lines of the braces through it if looking, but
with the fleece in winter the Paving Slab Fairy would not know.

Tight fitting trousers are _very_ useful when the weather gets wet, as having loose fitting wet
clothing around the legs is a little more unpleasant. Bare legs dry best - but get cold.

I've just ordereds a pair of these, so when I've checked myself out in the mirror I'll let
you know :-)

Stopped shaving the legs last week so I need something to keep the hairy things covered up (legs
I mean) ;-)

I'm off to buy a pair of bib-shorts tomorrow. I feel I can do this with relative impunity. I am
almost 100% certain that the PSF cannot fling any slabs as far as Australia (I knew there was a
reason I emigrated :-)
