Tour de France
When did it become necessary for every bicyclist to wear, even on the shortest of jaunts, togs fit for the Tour de France? Unless you are entered in a race or planning to cycle at least 40 miles, please confine yourself to normal clothes. The funniest example of this I saw (in precious Linden Hills, of course, my home turf but admittedly full of self-important types) was a middle-aged guy hauling two screaming kids in a Burley, while fitted out as if he were planning to meet up with Lance A that very afternoon. Stick to Dockers, dad.

This has almost nothing to do with your post, Lynette, but I was delighted to learn recently that in Australia, when a guy is wearing a Speedo, they say he's "smugglin' a budgie."
oh god i am sorry to say that down-home como is just as guilty of this as linden hills.
i wish the guys would wear shorts over their cycling tights. truly. big baggy shorts.
Nothing like a little "scrotal cleavage" to turn one's tummy. Hey, this post reminds me of someone dear to both of us who can't seem to rid himself of a long-loved (and frayed) pair of flesh-colored shorty shorts! In fact, the same dude should start his own rant blogspot, dontcha think? Happy Thanksgiving, Lynette!
There but for the grace of god goes my spouse. When towing a Burley he eschews the spandex. But otherwise smuggles the budgies.
