    Bloke cycled past me yesterday evening was not wearing underwear under his shorts. How do I know? Because the crack of his a*s* was in full view for all to see though the lycra, gleaming in the sunshine.

    The dilemma? Do I look him up on Strava and tell him? I couldn’t shout at him at the time, I was laughing so much.

    +1 surprise for “…not wearing underwear under his shorts.”

    It speaks volumes that you would expect him to be in his M&S grollies. Man up, there’s nothing wrong with a bit of transparency around the arse, he was probably wearing super sheer lycra for marginal gains.

    It’s only the human form, what’s the big deal? Now, you really need to get rid of your undies when you go out riding. It sounds like your man does a little more than cycle down to the cafe for his macchiato

    This thread got me thinking twice about wearing my favourite shorts in fear of them being worn out in the foreseeable future.

    When I’m commuting in the winter dark I find my powerful front light tells me what underwear the rider in front is (or isn’t) wearing under their Lycra. Which isn’t always a good thing …

    “…not wearing underwear under his shorts.”

    This bit troubles me for a different reason, as if you were expecting him to be wearing something?

    As for the crackal sighting I agree it is disturbing but that’s what friends are for. Not random flybys.

    I just checked Strava to make sure I didn’t go for a ride on the 11th – nope wasn’t me!

    I often wonder, when you see girls walking down the street with transparent legging on do they realise they are practically transparent?

    So why don’t manufacturers
    So why don’t manufacturers address this situation by using double thickness material, for example, on this area that always seems to wear out long before the rest of the shorts do.
    There does not appear to be any difference between expensive or cheaper versions of bib shorts. Call me cheapskate if you like but I use a patch of old Lycra snitched in the inside of the worn bit .This at least hides the crack of my arse and I get full wear from my shorts which are good enough for training in !

    Then there’s the blokes with one pair of very old early lycra black shorts that have been worn out so much and faded through that even though they are wearing them you can still see all their business through them…

    Some people just refuse to let go of a favourite pair of bibs, blind to the fact that they might as well be on a naked bike ride event.
