Rant from a lycra lout...

Heading into work today I found myself caught behind a cyclist wearing
shorts. Just a normal pair of shorts. And I mean short. There was
tradesman's cleavage aplenty to take in.

So now there needs to be a long thread contrasting shorts with white
knicks "which is more upsetting".

You've all seen the posts and letters to the editor in newspapers from people complaining about us 'lycra louts'.

And I thought this term of abuse was just lazy alliteration.

In the local vernacular there's plumbers crack, so why not cyclist coin-slot?

Insert $1 for more speed?

Insert $1 for loud noise, insert chilled $1 for really loud noise?

Insert $1 coin for grimace
Insert $ 2 coin for hint of smile

If insertion of coin does not elicit desired reaction, follow the coin with a stream of cold water from bidon.

Has anyone seen those knicks with the extremely thin layer of lycra
(about stocking thickness) just at about coins slot level? They make me
gag! What's worse, you couldn't get money in without an argument!

You can ride it if you like
It's got a basket
A bell that rings
And things to make it look good
I'd give it to you if I could
But I borrowed it" Pink Floyd

I think it's fair to blame triathleteism for that particular fashion
crime. Yecchhh! Imagine buying knicks that imitate worn-out ones! What
are they thinking?

But what happens if you have one of those saddles with a cut-out up
the middle. I'm thinking of the mop bucket effect. Wince!
