    OH MY! LOL....

    although.. you know....it really is nice to finally have a sport where it's the men's junk that is all pronounced and having to mentally avoid 'eye contact' vs women's chests!!!

    It's just a nice change!

    I sparingly threaten and have even twice used the second pic on the 4x4 family-safe board when the guys get a little out of control with the chick pics or comments to whip them back in line.

    Works like a charm.


    I've used it here http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=4116 because many of us appreciate the male biking form...

    Holy Polska Kielbasa, Batman!


    Now every time I get the sartorial urge to try something wild, this image will be seared into my brain. The rest of the cycling world likely thanks the OP in advance....

    OMG....WHAT is that? (do I even need to ask? is it what I think it is??) Are you serious??? I've heard people say that the 'real serious' athletes will just 'go' while riding...but I just ASSUMED they were referring to Peeing.....not #2'ing!!!

    Gross. This reminds me of a guy with well-worn shorts revealing more than I would have liked. They were black, but the fabric was so stretched and worn out...it had the effect of black sheer pantyhose, really. Seeing his butt was fine, butts are no problem. But when he turned around, good lawd! I didn't say anything because I didn't know him well. I will always check for invisible tights syndrome now, even if they're brand new.

    Regarding Picture #1:
    As a Man

    I will assure you that the Poles 'posed' for that picture


    Regarding Picture #2:
    As a human, I can assure you that the thought of diaper rash at age 45 is not an appealing one!

    This is making me rethink buying used saddles.
