Isn't it time lycra was banned? T. From personal experience I can tell you lycra is surprisingly robust in the event of coming in close contact with bitumen. I'm sure, there are more robust material/garments, but I can tell you that some clothing such as denim jeans that looks and feels far more robust than lycra only lasts about 3 secs when hitting the bitumen at 50km/h. Cant comment on old woollen bike shorts, never worn them; King Gee work shorts would be similar to jeans I imagine, and very uncomfortable to ride a bike in. or one of these http://www.bicycleseats.org/moon-seat.htm |
