Anthem singers that change the cadence or go up at the end and fuck with everyone else singing it.

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

the anti-cycling blokes are fucking funny.

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.

Which kinda goes out the door when they decide to ride like knobs down country lanes etc. But yeah, like you say colours aren't restricted to lycra.

Baggy shorts catch on the saddle when you stand
lycra has some padding as you point out for longer rides
Tops have pockets for pump, phone, spare tire, snacks, so no need for a bag
The clothes breathe but also help with wind/sweat chill when you're flying down a hill at 60km/hr. A wet tshirt at that pace is fucken cold
you can unzip a cycling top when too hot
If you come off, the lycra helps with skin loss
As I mentioned earlier I look fucken hot in it

My tops and shorts have pockets, Greg.

I was wearing breathable boardies when I did my ride and they were perfect, didn't catch.

It doesn't have to have your cock bulging out to be breathable.

Presumption. Some people don't have bulgy cocks.

I’m amazed the fern has taken this long to descend into a cycling war.

Where’s @SammyC to go into bat for the 🚴‍♂️ ?

Indeed. Particularly if they're dangerously overweight. As well meaning as they may be, compliments don't cure diabetes and premature death.
