You know whats scarier than too much information from behind?Originally Posted by michelem
This happened on my first organized ride. A scary sight!
Too much information from in front!!!
A guy new to our club at a club criterium in November chatting to me (on marshalling duty) while waiting for his race... I glance down to see what brand his shorts are - big panel down the side - and guess what I can see just to the right of the chamois stitching? Pubic hair... garrgghh... I have nothing against the hair itself, but it did look rather gross under the circumstances...
He had a hole in his shorts where the fabric had thinned and ripped away from the chamois...
Sorry to get side-tracked... back to your usual channel now...

Another reason to keep the whole lawn mowed, not just where it might chafe... it does have a tendency to work its way through Lycra above the chamois... Originally Posted by RoadRaven

Never even thought about the rear view, a nightmare to consider
When I see pics of myself on the bike, I mostly hate the stomach roll that is the result of elastic waist bike shorts coupled with a ninety degree body fold (compounded by 20+ pounds of extra weight, which is really the culprit
).
