| Eartha Kitt in my kind of cycling shorts |
Ok, so I know I have always said I’d never
wear cycling shorts. The Lycra, the padding, the way they look, it’s just not
my thing. Is it?
I get that for races or triathlons they are uniform, but I know people who cycle really short distances and wouldn’t even
dream of putting their bum near a saddle without a layer of Lycra and padding
in-between. It’s just not for me. I cycled from London to Paris wearing jeans
and my bum was just fine. I think a huge part of my aversion stems
from the fear that if I tried it I might like it then never be able to cycle in
my normal clothes again. My ass might soften and I’d have to invest in a whole
other wardrobe of Lycra. Also I spend a lot of my time waiting in
traffic behind dudes in very sheer faded Lycra and I don’t find it hot,
especially the dude I see on Holland Park Road who wears those white ones. NO. Just
no.
