Just wait till I move to town :p
I just wish I had the guts to not worry about what other people thought. My boys go to college in Tallahassee so they have actually seen the guy. Hopefully, he will always be noticed since he is riding on some scary roads even when you are in a car.
If only I didn't hate speedos with a passion, worse yet g-string speedos. I hate them on anyone, even hunky dudes. Honestly, I'd rather he rode nekkid. But then he'd be breaking the law, so there's that.Quote:

But nothing can top Bikini Man
The worst part of the Bikini Man's attire was without doubt his knee-length socks. That's just distasteful.
I'm a south Florida triathlete and on my training rides I typically wear bike shorts (I prefer anywhere from a 5" to 6" inseam) and a tight fitting tank top. I've never ridden in a bra top on the bike, although I must say that I only ever run in a sports bra... I never, ever have a shirt on (unless it's colder out that 50F- which is like 2x per year here). It's just too hot.
I actually race up to a 1/2 iron distance in a workout/competition two-piece swim suit ('The Finals' makes my favorite two-pieces) and that's pretty much the only time that I'll be on a bike with just a sports-bra style top.
Many, many peole have already written this... but I think actions speak a heck of a lot louder than the "clothes" that someone has on. In South FL, I typically see people with a lot less clothing on than I would see up North. My very best friend often rides her bike on training rides in just a sports bra; but she certainly isn't trying to seek attention from it... it's just a heck of a lot cooler!
Good thread!
Yeah, that's the only thing that bothered me too!....the dorky tall white socks! Such a 'Fashion NO'. :D :D :DQuote:

Would it be a bad thing to say that you made a cute couple? :pQuote:

oh. You actually WENT there :DQuote:

Why do you need cat food at the nude beach? :confused:Quote:

I'd say at the beach, water bottles would be preferable. Perhaps cycling bottles?
Zen, you should come riding with me. I need someone to hold a spare water bottle:p oh and a can of beets for lunch!
I myself, dont care how little anyone wears,but I agree that blatant picking up signals should at least, wait until the post ride lunch!!:rolleyes:
I have been caught silhouetted on the top of hill, checking my heart monitor strap, sports bra, jersey flapping by a very appreciative( and it may have been because I gave a good laff!!) male cyclist.( he was cute too!)
I wish I had ANYONE around to push me:(
I dont mind nude skin but blatant stripper behavior is a bit sick making( and Im from a sub culture that has naked people in bodypaint, riding around!! Too)
