Spandex the latest fashion

[eclectic]

I forgot to put this in when I recapped my tour.

Our first rest stop on the first day was a marvelous little prairie church. We happened to hit it right when the service had started so we decided to go.

It is the first (and mayhaps the last) time I have ever attended church in black spandex shorts, dayglo yellow jersey, accessorized with adorable gray mesh with pink straps and trim cycling shoes, pale pink camel back, a gray and silver bell helmet and of course what all proper women wear to church - black fingerless Trek gloves.

So now the next question, where is the most unconventional place you have worn your spandex?

(and ladies who have trouble going out in public in their spandex maybe this will give you all the confidence you need)

I love my black spandex Terry capri Spinnakers so much I often wear them all day, wherever i go. The padding is very light and doesn't stick out at all, they have cute side slits and just cover the knee. So comfy and soft, and just plain CUTE! I wear them sometimes on days I don't even get on my bike! I love showing off my new biking body, and the capri length is rather flattering and descrete- no "sausage effect" either.

That's why I got a skirt!! I started commuting to work and did not feel comfortable entering in my spandex. I felt much better once I got the skirt!

Lisa, I tried to find that just now on the internet after reading your post. Where did you get it? Much thanks.

I just think its cool you went to church regardless of what you had to wear. I've done the same on trips and the church goers are very appeciative of the effort.

I go to all sorts of restaurants and stuff in my car gear and no one seems to care. The most uncomfortable day I ever had if once I biked to work and since I was only staying a few hours stayed in my bike stuff. The suit and tie crowd gave me the once over that's for sure!

I wear my spandex to church all the time, But I'm an episcopalian, so we're pretty loosey goosey. I remember getting interrupted by crisis on my commute home a couple of times (when I commuted by bike)
I think the oddest places was when I lived in Harrisburg, PA. the club there had Friday night socail rides. A couple of times, the rider guessed wrong on the Place's dress policy.
