I had hoped to help you. I fancy I will be in Tokyo in April. I thought that maybe you would have liked to arrange to have those spandex done in a like style. That is like the skirts. Not the cycling pants

Then there would be no problem with finding a gentleman to tke cycling with you!!

Sorry, sorry, sorry,

Kind regards,
I hate to tell you...but April might be too cold for this type of fashion...sadly, I have not seen any of it...anywhere in Tokyo or beyond...

Eg,

Go to google select images and search for "printed skirts" you will find among the flotsam a site "ussokcity.com/ fashion" thats where I stumbled upon it.

Maybe your not getting out enough?

Heres another for your delectation.

Kind regards,

Kind regards,
To redeem myself, I shall go into the `big Mikan` {orange} this weekend and personally investigate this matter. I will report my findings upon my return. Until then, do keep your fingers crossed. It is cold and windy in the big city...a rare find this might be....

I don't think you guys are going to look at them .. maybe you fancy one yourselves .. maybe?

I think it is a wee bit cold here too - now they best not come out with that for bike shorts as there would probably be some major rubber necking and crashes .. can't be any worse than red bike shorts ehh, ehh ..

LOL. If you check the one on the left, it appears he has only one nut! Que horriblé! Might have a good cycling accident story...

The only cyclist that I know of that has one remaining testicle is Lance. And that, my friends, is why USPS and now Discovery always wear black shorts....

Just thought I would provide an update - I was informed that the abundance of left wearers has a medical basis - apparently the left testicle usually hangs a bit lower.



Now how many male readers just had to excuse themselves to go to the bathroom?
