OK They are not rubber suits
OK...I have been teased enough by calling the clothes in the bike
shop...rubber clothes....so I did my research and if these clothes don't sound kinky than I don't know what does.... Laugh if you will that I called the clothes rubber suits...but this gel in a padded crotch enhancing some feeling is quite bizarre when you read it for the first time. Our most popular Lycra short incorporate an 8 panel, 8 ounce design. Trico Sports utilizes its patented Memoflex Gel in the padded crotch. These shorts feature a unique one piece Lycra cover with a seamless padded chamois strategically placed for optimum comfort. OR..... The performance features of our best short, enhanced with the seamless fit of a bib short Design minimizes use of seams to give a feeling of freedom Unique Body Geometry Pro Chamois uses molded high density foam in key areas to relieve pressure during cycling, and conform to the body and saddle Chamois is seamless and stretchable for the best possible fit and feel on the bike Micro denier FieldsensorTM fabric transports moisture away from the skin and disperses it for fast evaporation Sleek, stylish construction looks and fits great Higher density foam in key pressue areas provides for better pressure dipersion and soft tissue support |

No question about it - it's bizarre! I was so embarrassed at my LBS when the really HOT lady cyclist who was helping me was trying to steer me away from the Lycra shorts with the gel in the crotch! Can you imagine the thoughts that were cycling through my mind at the moment! {i'm doubt that you can, but hey!} || || Our most popular Lycra short incorporate an 8 panel, 8 ounce design. || Trico Sports utilizes its patented Memoflex Gel in the padded crotch. || These shorts feature a unique one piece Lycra cover with a seamless || padded chamois strategically placed for optimum comfort.

They don't necessarily put it on for the ride, it's just what they wear every day. There's lots of comfortable and practical semi-'normal looking' clothes from the speciality manufacturers. Normal shoes for SPDs are harder to find. I get good service from padded lycra shorts or liners under baggies, cotton tee shirts and merino wool sweaters. My jerseys don't see as much wear as the shorts. I get more use from knickers or cycling-cut trousers than tights. I've found cycling specific jackets to be a good investment and they can even be sorta normal looking. (now that pink is in again!) In most other places you can fake rain gear. That doesn't work very well here on the drenched coast. Rubber makes lousy rain gear for cycling though some rubberised fabrics are used for industrial gear. -- zk |

I had no doubt about buying lycra shorts--I don't care how I look, I want maximum comfort in the saddle. I found I appreciate bike-specific jerseys more than I expected, for the pockets. I can reach a snack while riding, and I can hear my cell phone if it rings (not what bicycle riding should be, perhaps, but without it I wouldn't leave my kids, who are in middle school, home alone). My shoes were a little tight in width and fit better with bike socks than with my running socks. I bought a vest with a windproof front and open mesh in the back, and flourescent yellow green to make me more visible to the drivers around here who aren't used to bicyclists. So I ended up with the lycra look, but for practical purposes. Pam |

... After a few hours on the bike you'll come to appreciate each and every bizarre word used to describe this clothingg Beverly Maybe when I am at the point of being on a bike for HOURS....I will try some of this bizarre clothing. But at this point. I am comfortable in a jogging suit. Or Jeans and sneakers. We'll see how things progress if I keep riding. I still can't imagine dressing in lycra spandex though. Or wearing something with a geled crotch. Plus if I ride my bike to work, and I enter this office in black and pink lycra pants with a padded crotch they will throw a net over me. I work with men who do commercial, industrial construction. Iron workers and such. You try walking up to an Iron worker while wearing a pink and black lycra spandex outfit. And I am female. I can't even imagine how they would torment a guy wearing such a thing. Think about it in the same way as a guy walking up to Tony Soprano on the TV show wearing spandex. How do you think that would play out. Peace |
