    As someone who has fallen off her bicycle more than twice... I hope you are at least wearing a helmet!

    I for one wont be offering to get the tweezers out if you get gravel in your soft bits falling off because you're being chased by the men and ladies of the south.

    The last time I rode a bike I fell off before the wheel had done one revolution (well I hadn't ridden for over 50 years!) but I wasn't naked and no gravel got where it shouldn't and JOY! three lovely young guys from the bike hire shop rushed to help me. I was helpless - with laughter - at my undignified position and they joined in with the laughter when they realised I hadn't been injured and could see the funny side. Never again - 4 wheels forever!

    We followed a cyclist hogging a narow road in Derbyshire on Sunday. Those gel padded shorts are not a good look from behind.image

    Well excuse me if I don't follow suit on my motorbike. I've had gravel rash before and I'm not keen to repeat the experience.

    Also I think I'd frighten people.

    Fidget they're not so hot from the front either. image 

    I'd sooner have naked than old blokes in lycra though sometimes it's hard to tell the difference. 

    If I put another link to The Streak on here people'll think I only know one song...however it is appropriate.

    I used to wear the padded shorts, lycra, full works as I cycled to work and always hoped that the boss didn't have customers visiting early (he did on several occasions but never commented so obviously I looked awesome).
