Since I started riding this year, I pay more attention to other cyclists I see out and about. I check out their bikes, their attire, how they handle traffic, how they ride in a group...all out of curiosity and maybe learning something. So, today I was driving home and I saw a guy ahead of me riding in some pretty heavy traffic, nice bike (couldn't see what it was), full kit, etc. When I got a bit closer, what I really noticed was....boyfriend needed some new cycling shorts! OMG! They were totally threadbare, I could see everything! He ended up behind/next to me at a stop light and I really wanted to roll down the window and tell him! (Do you think he already knew, or would have cared?) Sorry, no point to this post really, other than it was funny, and I will definitely double check myself next time I leave the house!

Pubic exposure....
It should be illegal. I've been the 'beneficiary' several times. And it has always been guys.

It is always guys, for some reason, and they're never the good-looking ones either...At least I don't leave slime trails.

Um, careful ladies, glass houses and all that...I have been notified that I was an offender on a group ride, with many miles to go. Nothing to do but grin and bear it, although I do think I decided to ride sweep.
I have since retired several pairs of shorts to the under-tights-only category. I'm glad I have such winter shorts; makes the still-decent ones last longer.
Serves me right for being overly frugal, I suppose.
