Try to keep up WC. This is about bicycles.
Those of you who want medical insurance to cover everything should be glad that people ride donorscycles.

They are donorcycles too.
Assuming you're being honest... Why Spandex? Why not a normal pair of shorts over the scary spandex if you're dead-set on having padded pants? Why, after losing 20 lbs, would you feel the need to don the matching stretchy top?
Are you doing time trials? Is being aerodynamic going to really make a difference?
why wouldn't I be honest? I am going to come on here and tell y'all that it feels really comfortable to wear an embarrassing pistachio outfit for fun? LOL
The reason why I don't want to wear shorts over the bike shorts is that it will trap the sweat that the bike shorts wick away which is not good for long rides. Now I can wear sweat wicking shorts over the bike shorts, but that still presents a problem that the excess friction can wear the bike shorts down sooner. As far as the stretchy top, it also wicks sweat and if it has a zipper in the front, so if I get too hot, I can zip it down and get more air.
I am not doing time trials, I am not going to win any races, I just signed up for the MS150 using a borrowed road bike (if anyone wants to donate, PM me!), but the outfit is comfortable, and functional. I am dead set on wearing padded shorts because the more that I am riding longer and longer distances, it begins to hurt. I got used to it last year because I started riding only 1 mile, then two, then 4, etc so I slowly built my tolerance but that is because I was out of shape. Then I took five months off, and lost that tolerance, but I can still ride 20 miles at once. Without that tolerance, it hurts, especially when I try to get on multiple times in a week. Even if I build my tolerance back up, I am going to try something I have never done before later on this year. 150 miles in two days. And you know what? I am going to but a ing 150 sticker on my car (if they exist), not because I am proud of my accomplishment or whatever, but specifically to raise the blood pressure of some of the posters here.
Also Blake you didn't see me, I just got the outfit and only wore the pants in public.
So you're gay. Nothing wrong with that.
LOL. Well, I probably would have worn the shirt out in public, but my "wife" told me I wasn't allowed to wear it until I dropped 10. I decided on 20.So you're gay. Nothing wrong with that.
Pics or it didn't happen!
No, Nothing looks amazing on me in that outfit. I just don't give a .
Chump loves cycling. He left his photo album in the politics forum, just droppin it off here. You're welcome.
smh obsession
Might wanna get the bike fitted before you try the 150. A few degress of seat tilt (vertical and/or horizontal) can make all the difference comfort-wise, assuming you have the height right. I angle my seat a degree or two to the right to accomodate the boys, and also tilted slightly nose down. I also have a pair of wicking tights for the winter, but i do wear shorts over them cause i keep a phone in my pocket for gps tracking.
I ride 120 miles or so a week, but i stay well away from the main roads if i can help it, unless there is a nice bike lane with minimal debris.
Keep going.....just a little more......
I will, this is my buddy's extra bike, but it will pretty much be mine for the time while I am training and using it. Hopefully I can get one of my own in the summer or something, but that is unlikely.
"this feeling of looking gooooood makes me want to go that extra mile"Keep going.....just a little more......
Mmmm it hurts SO goodKeep going.....just a little more......
Cyclists are out of control where I live in Colorado. They ride side by side on the shoulder of the highway on the way to the mountains, with one cyclist always veering into 60+mph traffic causing cars to swerve and brake. It gets worse in the mountains where there's no shoulder and no guard rails to keep you from flying off a mountain. Cyclists still choose to ride in areas where the speed is 40 mph and there are endless turns and blind spots. It's bad when you come around a corner at 30-40 mph and all the sudden you're right up on some idiot in spandex who's in the middle of the road and struggling to go 5 mph because of an incline, and the only reason he's doing it is because he never realized Lance was a fraud.

One of the most dangerous I see are those who roll past stop signs and accelerate once they see the path clear. There is a blindspot where the doorframe of the car is, that at the right speeds, you don't see pedestrians, bicycles, other cars, etc. It varies with car type, but these accidents probably occur more often when someone with this bad habbit changes the car type they drive. When these people cause accident, they often accuse someone of some illegal act and say "but I didn't see you. Where did you come from?"
Following too close. you all who do this. I'm getting ready to place a bicycle rack on the back bumper of my sedan and brake check people.
The worst I see, and I see it at least once nearly every single day where I live in Denver, is cyclists who completely ignore stop signs and red lights. I almost hit a cyclist this morning who blasted straight through a 2-way stop. There were no stop signs on the street I was on and he just went straight through his stop sign without even looking. I came within a few feet of him going while going 30mph. Idiot came damn close to winning a Darwin award.
