Revealing Bib and Shorts

When the wimmenz start staring at your 'unmentionables', just say loudly "Hey my eyes are up here!", then harumph and mutter in a stage whisper "Stupid perverts". That will take care of 98% of spectators. For the other 2%, charge them a dollar and invite them to see you dance on the main stage, that should get a laugh out of them and if you're lucky.....a phone number:smilewinkgrin:.

If you want to be modest, black padded bibs will be the best option. If you want to "show off" the junk, unpadded shorts (esp. worn ones) with color (a la the Polish team in the earlier photo) is the way to leave nothing to the imagination.

LOL I wish I could get that kind of attention!!! As I said, grown women... that's not an issue as I'm sure they have seen it before and I'm not ashamed in anyway. I just wasn't so sure with young girls whether or not it was something we should be a bit more discrete about.

Maybe it's just our culture in north america, but we tend to shield our young ones from anything of the sexual nature. I'm sure some parents wouldn't think much of it, but I'm sure there are others that would judge it as indecent exposure. I've never been told by anyone that it's inappropriate but I can see it being an issue with some people.

Can you imagine if the mothers of these young girls overhears them chatting that they saw Mr. Red90's penis not realizing they saw an outline through your bike shorts? :eek:.

I've never noticed any shorts that show the outline of penises like in the pic posted, so there must be a difference in how far up the chamois goes. Maybe that's something you can look for in future shorts????

Well, obviously, it also makes a difference how you are carrying your penis. Size matters, too. Do we really need to go into these details? Oh, and the bibs of the guys in the picture do not show any chamois at all, at least as far as one can tell. I wonder what brand those were, but I have never seen bibs with so little chamois for sale.

So anyone else felt this way? I was thinking maybe I should wear a pair of shorts over the bibs...

This bit of getting so uptight about this sort of thing is mostly just in the U.S. thing. Maybe a bit in the U.K.

The girls won't be getting off on seeing your penis and after idle curiosity will simply ignore it so I wouldn't worry about it. Seeing nude people of every age, shape, and gender on the beach, around pools, and elsewhere didn't hurt my kids nor any of the millions of others outside the over-uptight U.S.

Time for the "grammar police" again. Look at that...how does that make sense? What you're trying to do is make a contraction of "should have". That will involve an apostrophe, you know, the ' you used incorrectly 9 words further along. So the contraction looks like this: should've. "It's" is of course a contraction of "it is", or even "it has", it's (note correct usage) not a possessive.

fine, it's gone.

+1. Well done.

btw, I spend at least 95% of the time that I wear cycling shorts hanging over the handlebars pedaling like a madman. The other 5% is waiting for lights to change and walking to/from my bike. I tend not to pose in front of young ladies or prance around so no one but my family has ever had the opportunity to complain. At lights people are too intent wishing they owned my bike to care about my knob.

I wanted to add one more thing...

You should ignore that kind of mentality. As long as you are not naked riding your bike, there's nothing to be ashamed of, if that thing of yours is bulging.

I am sure that these other people would understand it completely and that's nature and that's how it is.. Everyone has a father or brother (male) in their families.

You should only worry if you don't have that junk unless you are a woman.:blush2:

Colors other than black definitely emphasise certain features. Like this

One, the first post made me laugh, sorry was this in the school playground? Your an adult i assume, would you not just, excuse the pun, rise above it?

....and the pic (if genuine) seriously, how have none of them felt the need to adjust themselves and 'tuck in' just looks uncomfortable.

Using that image and the word "Nazi" to point out grammar issues is probably offensive to many. The only time the word "Nazi" should be used is when writing or talking about the real thing. Images similar to the swastika should never be used.

I'm not trying to be a jerk here...but are you really that sensitive to a word? The definition of "Nazi" has changed and worked its way into our verbal culture...the word is often used to describe anyone being oppressive or harsh. If you really cannot discern the difference in his context vs the literal oppressive political party of the mid 1900's I feel sorry for you...life outside a forum must me rough...

It's the rider's who wear overly worn shorts/bibs that have only a thin layer of lycra left that bother me.

Yikes...

I went on a ride with a "robust" gentleman last summer...dude had some seriously worn out kit. He took the lead and I could see his ass crack wight through his bibs. I found it more humorous than anything but the second you mentioned it, that image popped into my head.
