Spandex the latest fashion

[Fredwina]

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.

thanks for the laugh. My sister always explains our mother by saying "well you know she's a Presbyterian" (We were raised Lutheran)

Wow- too cool!!!! That made me laugh, too! I'm Catholic, and my mom recently switched to Episcopalian, so we call her "Catholic Lite- Catholic without all the guilt."

I've gone to church committee mtgs in spandex, but not Sunday service. I would like to, and have actually considered it. But some of the old folks might go into heart failure. I may get a skirt just for that purpose!

I was raised Catholic but don't live in a "Catholic friendly" city, so when I attend church I go to the Espiscopal church. I call myself a "Cathopalian."

I've always wanted to write a book about being a "guilt-free Catholic." Spandex would do fine, though I've never done it. I could easily get away with it 'cause I'm in the choir and we recently got robes - but half the time I don't wear spandex on the bike. (If it's less than 20 miles, I don't need padding. My bike fits that well ... or maybe it's that tough Norwegian callused crotch )

I was on my way to a bike weekend that was within a hundred miles of the rest of the family, and got the call that my great-aunt had died. However, I stopped in a mall on the way and got clothes. Spandex at a funeral, even black... not without a really good reason.

I could not imagine myself going anywhere in spandex besides down the rode on my bike. I am under the opinion, (whether it be wrong or right) that some people just shouldn't wear some things in public. I mean no offense to anyone by that remark. If you are a secure enough person to do that, then I say more power to you, I just don't happen to be, and with my weight, lets just say, I won't be wearing mine out anywhere. LOL
I look foward to the day that I begin to believe I look good in spandex.

Plus, I don't know about you girls, but I sweat profusely when I ride, so needless to say, I don't look or smell to good by the time I get where I am going. I think I sweat worse than men do. It's unbelievable to me sometimes, how bad I sweat. I see other women exercising, and they hardly break a sweat, and in 5 minutes, I am dripping wet. It's awful!!!

It may not seem like it, DDH, but that's a VERY efficient cooling system we have! Yes, I sweat like that too!

If I wanted to go to Church and didn't have time to go home & change, I would certainly show up in Church with my cycling shorts on!

My mother always said to me, "God doesn't care what you wear in His House".

I personally would not have a problem with this. I'm sure that I would be sitting alone though -- Oh well!

Today I got locked out of the house wearing my spandex biking shorts and sleeveless jersey. As I stood on a busy street corner using the pay phone to call my husband for help, I did consider what a sight I was (especially with no bike around as an excuse -- I was in my car, since I did have my car keys with me). I guess I was just in too foul a mood to care how fat I looked. My attitude was more, "Bite me."

I'm an Episcopalian, too. Lots of us here, eh?

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Wearing my spandex biking shorts to church would certainly be the weirdest place I would be wearing them....'cause I'm an atheist!

Roger that, Lisa--and we get those nice Sunday mornings for enjoying the wonders of the world from the saddles of our bicycles.
