Just one last thing

And an excuse for a reference.
I forgot to add an important element to that last post on cycling in winter, so to provide resolution, here is the rest of it:
One other added protection that many bikers seem to favour is the leg warmer. These have little in common with the 80s fashion disaster, and are instead, tight-fitting leggings as shown here:
Now I would have bought a set to keep my pins warm when it gets really cold, however I have been put off for life.
One of the guys who goes to my gym, and does BodyPump on a Saturday morning too, has recently started wearing lycra leggings. Now this might now sound too bad, but there are a couple of unpleasant aspects. The first is that he has a bit of a pot belly and it looks frankly ridiculous bulging over the top of the tight waistband. However even this pales into comparison to the nauseating sight of seeing another man’s “package” prominently and conspicuously displayed. At least Linford could get away with it, but this guy looks like he’s doing it for a bet. Why he couldn’t have simply put a pair of shorts on over the top for everyone’s benefit is beyond me.
