Almost on a daily basis I come across various ladies cycling through London with completely see-through leggings. They might not be see-through standing up, but hunched over a bike they often go completely transparent – with all that’s underneath on show.

Now the question is – do I tell the owner of the transparent clothing that their undercrackers are on show? Or would that be deemed offensive/pervy?

Are there any ladies here that could give a view? Would you like to be told?

Its unfortunate that at the gym I go to, the spin bikes are setup up front. So running on the treadmills behind them gives you a choice to view a few TV channels or someone’s exposed behind.

At some point, one of the gym’s staff would lean in and whisper into the ear of the cyclist embarrassing them enough to quit their workout. As a stranger to the cyclist, their no way of pointing the obvious without causing discouragement.

Look the other way.

Being of the XY chromosome persuasion, I must admit to doing a quick, fortnightly ‘safety check’ in front of the mirror precisely to avoid offending my fellow road users!

Don’t let it happen to you! :B

Look the rules are simple

If it’s a bloke it is perfectly acceptable to use the following polite phrase:
“For f****s sake! Get some new lycra, no-one wants to see your rusty sheriffs badge; and while your at it learn to wipe your arse!”

If it’s a girl, don’t be a dick! Either overtake if the view is not to your liking or relax and take in the scenery. DO NOT COMMENT on the transparency of her lycra, anything else but NOT the lycra.

I once found myself behind a young lady who had the most exquisitely shaped perfect upside down heart bottom. Her lacy tanga briefs only helped to emphasise and frame the incredible beauty of her derriere.
When I finally lost her at a set of traffic lights I was 10 miles further from my destination than when I first saw her.

White shorts, sweaty butt crack, transparent through the rain, def see what he had for breakfast. Huge incentive to pass him asap.
White shorts should be banned!
Spotted first climb of this years etape.
Meanwhile some tanned, tight thighs, prefer Italian if possible, sit and draft all day.
Ps lower your jersey show a bit of clevage and wait for the push as you go by 😀
That advice is only for the ladies!

Through a mate’s son who was working for a Pro, I recently acquired some past season pro team kit as it doesn’t fit my mate’s son nor my mate.
His kit is XS.
The bibs are a distinctive colour in the peloton and even my small frame stretches the fabric so much that it loses its colour and becomes semi-transparent.
It gives me that Rapha time trial skin suit look – not pleasant to look at all.

To the bloke I had the misfortune of following for a short while last night on the approach to Shooters Hill. Your bib shorts are worn out, it’s horrific, please get a new pair.
Ruck sack & purple tee shirt completes the outfit if that helps you identify yourself.

Phew-eee, the stench of man
Phew-eee, the stench of man musk runs strong. I’m fairly sure no one would ever think badly of another human having their eye turned by an another attractive human, but writing loudly on a forum about ogling the laydeez in their knickers kind of reeks of some 1970s working mens club. So maybe just think it, don’t write it.

As for the OP’s question, I think the dilemma is to whether the person would like to know if their knickers are on show. Unfortunately, asking the cyclist would only cause embarrassment, so I reckon addressing the issue is best left to their friends or family.

You deffo need a chill pill. My comment was quite flippant on purpose – to highlight how ridiculous this thread is.

I’m quite comfortable with my view on women, as are my wife, daughter, and work colleagues.

There’s nothing wrong with having a bit of a joke, especially when the conversation is a bit daft – as I said, chill a little.

BTW – I only draft nice female cyclists on climbs – the slower pace allows more time to enjoy the view :))

You’re overshooting the target a wee bit here.

If you’re making someone uncomfortable with your attention, then yes, that is overstepping your boundaries and morally more than questionable. But simply enjoying seeing another fit human is not the same thing.

We’re sexual beings, there is nothing wrong with that, and a fit human body is pleasant to look at for a variety of obvious reasons. Don’t be a prude.

If he goes out of his way to stay / draft behind that woman just to stare at her bum, aye. That’s perving. But that’s not what I meant, and I don’t think that’s what daddyELVIS meant either, or the OP for that matter.

And how many straight women or gay men do you know that don’t like looking at a fit bloke?

I don’t see much wrong with “enjoying the view”, it’s when it gets into perving / harrassing territory where I would draw the line.
