>>1231259>Spandex Lycra whatever you call it is categorically meterosexual and not to mention squeezing your nuts and penis so close to your loins like that is proven to be bad for you (lowers fertility and whatnot).Sounds to me like you should never ride a bike, ever, because regardless of what you wear to ride, your genitals are going to be pressed up against your crotch. In fact if you really feel that way you should never leave your house, ever, and never wear pants, you should just live your life with everything hanging out all day every day.

As an aside to this thread, it astounds me how far people will go to come up with plausible 'explanations' for why they won't wear proper cycling-specific clothing, when the truth is they're just so insecure about their bodies and/or their sexuality that they just can't bring themselves to wear the stuff when it's clearly and objectively beneficial, having been designed and developed specifically for making riding a bike more comfortable and efficient and healthful. Note that back when I started riding again as an adult and didn't know shit, I rode a too-padded saddle on a heavy $350 mountain bike, wearing cheap nylon gym shorts and a cotton t-shirt in 100 degree heat, was drenched in sweat the whole time, and got massive saddle-sores all the time because of it. I'd never go back to wearing that, or wearing street clothes like so many of you do, because I know I'd be doing damage to myself if I did. You guys need to get over yourselves and dress apporpriately for riding a bike and put all this immature insecurity behind you. Most people who are avid cyclists wear cycling-specific clothing. You're not going to stand out, you're not going to attract homosexuals, and you're not going to magically turn homosexual, either. Just get over yourselves already.
