Embarrasing bike pants question

Gotcha. I think that's the issue. These are bright blue.

Maybe yellow would print more, maybe.

So we should be seeing him here soon, no?

ROTFL! Nothing like a good laugh before a ride! Gets the rib cage opened up

I saw a guy in light blue bike pants in the mall recently who could have
been arrested for indecency. The keyword definitely is black. Another
garment where black is important is in wrestling singlets. I have
noticed that if school colors are light and might be offensive, most
singlets incorporate black in the design. The black portion usually
runs at an angle through the crotch, offset just enough to cover the
entire bulge. Unfortunately, whoever bought the silver singlets for our
team wasn't aware of this trick. Gross!

Rich, fat, old, bald guy!

That's Mister Roth to you, buddy.

Might as well JUMP!

hide it?

Same way a woman with a double D cup hides hers.

More specifically: original front man of Van Halen. Son of a
prominent Beverly Hills ophthalmologist. Known for a raucous (in a
good way) voice and tremendous on-stage feats of athleticism.

Now he's an irrelevant fat bald old guy.

Last I heard he was taking paramedic training in Rockland County, NY.

And people wonder why I tough it out in jeans. I get hit by my wife for
wearing a too tight top sometimes so....back to my non imitation pro
riding. This all kind of reminds me of going to the beach and finding
the fat old people in the skimpy bikinis or speedos...yuck.

AHA! That's how my shriveled little brain cells put him in the category
of "Rock Star." (I used to watch "One Day at a Time."😉

Back on wifi, found this link which leads to a photo:

And this elicidating text: "In the eyes of countless hard rock fans,
David Lee Roth is the prototypical frontman. With a flamboyant,
larger-than-life stage presence and a party hearty/surfer dude persona
(not to mention his acrobatic leaps, long mane of blond hair, and
skintight spandex outfits)..."

So OP is griping about bike shorts giving him a blond moment? Or the
biker dude persona?

A member of Van Halen, a popular beat combo.

Note that this reference will mean little to those outside the UK...

Strictly for its educational value, I googled, "biggest [censored] in rock".
It seems to be unanimous among those who would supposedly know such
things that Iggy Pop currently bears the stigma.

Do I need a jock or cup under bicycle shorts. If I go naked I get the
David Lee Roth effect -- big time, pardon the pun. Even with a jock ...
Are the pants just too small then?

1. Get a longer jersey if you're overly modest.

2. Black pants show it less than, say, orange ones do.

3. It's not just you or your pants. Spandex will do
that; in fact, larger spandex pants will crease behind
the appendage, exposing it more.

4. If you wear a cup, you'll be ripping it out within
a mile.

5. Embrace your innate talents.

In Japan the ladies wear underwear under their swim suits!

I'm getting a wierd vision of a chest spreader and a mobile bypass
operation.

Bicycles and open heart surgery, beats a Chinese circus any day.

What about just getting a pair of slightly baggy mtb shorts and be done
with it?

Speaking of bright blue...the League of Michigan Bicyclists annual
poster calendar includes a photo of someone who needs to read the "wear
black" post.

Double yuck!

It is partly a modesty thing but in some weird way practical.

I was watching the Olympics many years back and caught the live feed of
a female high diver on the underwater camera. She lost her bottom half
of the bikini suit she had on and her pubic patch went right in front of
the underwater camera, live and international. She was definitely not a
blond. Someone else must remember this besides me as it has since caused
some stir as to how the swimming/diving is broadcast. That image is
burned onto my memory but I can't remember what year or what I was doing
or even where. Better than checking out guys in too tight shorts which I
do not do.
