Whenever I ride, I usually wear a cycling bib shorts and jersey. As with any cycling shorts, I don't wear anything underneath it. Needless to say, if one does look it is rather revealing of ones private parts. Normally, it doesn't bother me, as we are all adults and it's nothing really to be ashamed of. I'm not extremely well endowed so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb.

However, the other day I was riding and stopped to have coffee and there were a few young female teenagers, probably in the 12-13yr ages and couldn't help seeing that they were staring at my junk. I felt a bit embarrassed as, I don't think it's something that should be that revealing especially for such young girls. If it's an adult woman, I wouldn't care, it's likely something they would have seen already.

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

You should of educated them on the aerodynamics of cycling and it's importance....lol

Colors other than black definitely emphasise certain features. Like this

Wear black bib shorts maybe?

 

[robnj]

Haven't had this occur yet, but I have two young girls and I guess they are used to it by now. After catching me "adjusting" before a ride, I think nothing phases them now.

 

[Red90]

I definitely wear black shorts. Seeing that picture, I don't think I will choose any other color.

My 12yr old daughter always runs away from me yelling at me to put on some clothes. I always threaten her that if she ever gets in trouble at school that I'll show on my bike with the full kit on. Needless to say she's an "A" student. :blush2:

 

[dougclaysmith]

Lets just say its a girl teenager thing

I have a kit that I will never wear again.

It's has a little too much white in the front of the bibs. (get what I’m saying?) I got the most disgusting barf-face look from my 15 year old daughter as I passed her on the way out to the garage for a ride.

Bibs needs to be black, I think that is one of the rules.

I have a friend who started riding 3 or 4 years ago. His kids bought him a pair of shorts for a birthday present. The first time he put them on to ride, his wife refused to let him out of the house. But she has since relented, and he wears them regularly. I guess it just took a little time for her to get used to them.

Good lord, It looks like a penis line up. It's border line porn.

Ok, that does it, I just showed my wife, she says I look like that in my red bibs. They're going in the trash.

Buon giorno ciclisti !!

Leave it to Polska to use a limp phallic symbol on their uniforms or am I just imagining it ?

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.

I don't have any kids, so I'm not so sure what I would do. If I had a young daughter and there were a bunch of cyclist with their genitals bulging out there... would I tell the girls not to look or tell the cyclist to be more discrete. I'm not sure.

As a cyclist, I don't want any of the parents to be angry as it almost seems like I'm exposing myself to a young girl. It was just an awkward feeling when I saw them staring at me...

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.

Agreed. Now, please edit it from your quote.

My use is appropriate. I'm not sure your comment is.

No soup for you!

That sounds like contradictory sentences. Normal cycling shorts usually have enough chamois to sufficiently obscure the private parts of any male individual, with the exception of those "extremely well endowed" ones.

Do your shorts/bibs have chamois? And if they do, are they properly sized?

 

[Kerry Irons]

Are you sure about that? My observation would be that approximately 95% of bike shorts do NOT have enough chamois to sufficiently obscure the private parts.

Why is that "needless to say"? As others have remarked, you won't be able to discern much detail of my privates in black bibs. Unless you really, really want to...

After catching me "adjusting" before a ride, I think nothing phases them now.

You mean "nothing fazes them now", right? With greetings from the spelling police.

I guess it all depends. My observation is that 100% of my bike shorts DO have enough chamois to sufficiently obscure mine. :blush2:
