Rant from a lycra lout...

[Bugbear]

You've all seen the posts and letters to the editor in newspapers from
people complaining about us 'lycra louts'. Well I've encountered an
insidious plan for these letter writers to get revenge on us.

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.

Hang on, maybe it's a new technique for cooling your rear...I just
hope it doesn't catch on.

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

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!

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!
