    Not only for their crimes on the road and the fact they get in the way constantly.....it’s the chubby middle aged men who think they look even vaguely presentable in Lycra. Sitting in cafes ordering their lattes and croissants after a ride and wondering why their guts still bulge at the seams of said Lycra.

    Just fuck off, all of you.

    @MN5

    Mountain bikers on off-road tracks who think because they are using pedal power they have more rights than off-road motorbike and horse riders. And that's before the bloody lycra.

    Consensus between horse riders and motorbike riders (who generally get along famously) is they're a bunch of fluffybunnies who can fuck right off.

    Don't get me started on those cnuts. We have dedicated bike lanes everywhere near me. Shit, they have paths all the way into the city that joggers can't use. Yet the Lance Armstrong swallowed a pig looking tossers still insist on clogging up suburban streets. And what's with them all wearing the TdF kit? I understand if it's an actual competitive race, but if you're a weekend fatso ending a session with a flat white and half a bakery do you really need to dress up like you're a member of a professional team. Fark, that would be like having a game of touch and everyone dressing up in full replica Allblacks kit.

    Top quality rant. Brilliantly worded.

    All I can add is the old adage of dress for the body you want, not the one you have. The overwhelming majority of people don’t look good in Lycra. Get t shirts and baggy shorts you embarrassing looking cocks.

    It shits me beyond belief how much was spent on the Island Bay cycle way WHICH NO ONE USES !

    Couldn’t they have put that money towards another pub or a gym ?

    Here we go. It's not anti-cycling. It's anti certain types of cyclist. If I criticise roid freaks at the gym, I'm not anti-gyms.

    That doesn’t phase me anymore. In my head I just pretend Tarzan is singing it.

    Come on, seriously though, can you explain the need for Joe weekend cyclist to have the full tdf kit? Why if you become a cyclist do you all of a sudden need to swap out normal clothes for lycra with sponsor's names everywhere?

    I just don't get it. I went for a 30km bike ride while on holiday and apart from not having padded shorts I was pretty damn happy to do it just wearing normal active clothing.

    @Bones One argument is safety, a lot of that lycra has very bright colours which are easier to see. In saying that I could wear a hi vis shirt and some stubbies, my white legs would reflect most light.
