Psst! I think he's talking about us!

I read this with mixture of unconcealed amusement combined with toe-curling embarrassment due to the accuracy of Dominic's description of my life, and I figured I wouldn't be alone!

Road.cc poll results - What you like most... everything, Lycra included

Small yet worrying minority put the clingy material above all other considerations, however

Revolution Pursuit 3/4 longs

Price:

£34.21

Revolution Pursuit 8 panel short

Need longs but don’t want tights? Seeking the mid-price option? Then look no further than Revolution’s pursuit. Made by Endura, these shorts bridge the gap between summer wear and winter training tights.

The substantial CoolMax insert provides ample support and has good wicking properties, keeping the crotch area drier and therefore less prone to bacterial infection. Seamless, eight-panel Nylon/Polyester/Lycra construction scores further points, maximising mobility while the high back protects against early season chill.

Things I have learnt about pants today

There's some things you just don't think about as a cyclist, they're just the law. Like lycra and pants. You don't wear undercrackers under lycra, and I have on occassion laid down said law to newbie buddies. I've never broken it myself, until today. Today I rode in on the road bike to give the RS80 wheels a final spin, so I was in lycra and not baggies. Come home time I was in a hurry to get home for the plumber (who never showed up ) and I couldn't be arsed to get into the cupboard - it literally is a cupboard, too - to de-pant and lycra up.
