How much is too much skin?

Somehow this just screams too much skin - http://www.tampabay.com/features/hum...cle1019825.ece

I say good for him!
He looks happy and healthy and natural.

I wish we had him in our town. We don't seem to have any good eccentrics anymore.

Just wait till I move to town

I just wish I had the guts to not worry about what other people thought. My boys go to college in Tallahassee so they have actually seen the guy. Hopefully, he will always be noticed since he is riding on some scary roads even when you are in a car.

If only I didn't hate speedos with a passion, worse yet g-string speedos. I hate them on anyone, even hunky dudes. Honestly, I'd rather he rode nekkid. But then he'd be breaking the law, so there's that.

Good for him in any case!

But nothing can top Bikini Man

The worst part of the Bikini Man's attire was without doubt his knee-length socks. That's just distasteful.

I'm a south Florida triathlete and on my training rides I typically wear bike shorts (I prefer anywhere from a 5" to 6" inseam) and a tight fitting tank top. I've never ridden in a bra top on the bike, although I must say that I only ever run in a sports bra... I never, ever have a shirt on (unless it's colder out that 50F- which is like 2x per year here). It's just too hot.

I actually race up to a 1/2 iron distance in a workout/competition two-piece swim suit ('The Finals' makes my favorite two-pieces) and that's pretty much the only time that I'll be on a bike with just a sports-bra style top.

Many, many peole have already written this... but I think actions speak a heck of a lot louder than the "clothes" that someone has on. In South FL, I typically see people with a lot less clothing on than I would see up North. My very best friend often rides her bike on training rides in just a sports bra; but she certainly isn't trying to seek attention from it... it's just a heck of a lot cooler!

Good thread!

Yeah, that's the only thing that bothered me too!....the dorky tall white socks! Such a 'Fashion NO'.

I beg to differ (my apologies if this offends anyone!)

And to think I used to date him

Would it be a bad thing to say that you made a cute couple?

I love it.

Personally I admire people who will BE THEMSELVES, layers of exposed skin and all. Now, if it's because they need to be made fools of... welp, that ain't healthy, perhaps, but sometimes a good, honest, "eat worms!" to the world and its arbitrary definitions of "beauty" is a good thing.
