Bicycle shorts are for suckers.
Shameless, tacky, be-spandexed suckers.
No one wants to see that.
White bicycle shorts should be grounds for justifiable homicide.

Mine are black. I'm quite the cycler. As if Jean shorts and Cargo shorts aren't tacky.

cargos' the way to go.

I ride a bike everywhere I go, weather permitting. No spandex for me!
Bikewear is so hideous.

I ride bike for the sake of riding bike rather than for transportation. I prefer going at night. The spandex is quite ugly but I wouldn't be caught dead in fuckin cargo shorts.

I have a Team Spandex T-shirt. A friend and I started our own bike team and even had these shirts printed. The front has a drawing of a middle-aged pot-bellied man in a spandex suit on a bike. The back says, "Just say no to Spandex."

Over a certain age, men shouldn't wear spandex.

Is 15 over that age?

I would say yes.

Depends.

But generally, odd and ugly things don't start happening to men's bodies until after around 40.

Pre-birth is acceptable.

Are you suggesting that Anthrax were not rock in the '80s?

A pox on your house!

i say a coooool crime

I concur wholeheartedly with Savage Clone on the spandex issue. If one were meant to wear unattractively tight, skin-pinching clothing whose sheen accentuates each fold of a flabby ass, we would simply walk around naked.

On the sandal issue, both sexes are permitted to wear sandals; however, it is EXTREMELY rare to find fashionably acceptable ones. My rule (for casual sandals mind you; whoring it up is a different story) is that they ought to be as least ornate as possible. Sandals that resemble shoes a. look orthopaedic and retarded and b. defeat the purpose of wearing sandals.

i was thinking about how this related to the issue of shorts. i'm wearing shorts right now, although i rarely wear shorts outside the house (unless i'm at the beach of course).



anyway, as far as sandals go, i think it's fine to wear them if you live or were born in the southern hemisphere/africa, and are not white.

that guy probably wearing khaki cargo shorts too

no, i reckon he has a job in finance and he sees himself as being more bohemian than his colleagues

i reckon he bought that turtle when he went on his £10,000 backpacking & surfing holiday round australia

HAHA fucking hell, this is EXACTLY how I was thinking when I was still working in finance.

Hillarious point !!! :D

damn right

i've got a friend who's like that too

i'm generally against the idea of holidaying in australia too. not sure where you stand on that one.
the only thing that makes me want to go to australia is striborg

That's a tricky one for me as you probably know.

espadrilles?

yeah i like non-ornate trainers too, preferably made by mr john adidas. i only have two pairs of shoes; one, a pair of adidas, these ones:

but i took the gold thing off the laces, and a pair of dr marten's boots.

i'm going to buy some more trainers when i next have some money.

Those are not too bad!

Which is worse though, having to wear a suit and tie to work or having to wear high heels all day?

i particularly dislike loafers. i was outraged during their rise to popularity in the 90s.

There are plenty of men around London who wear both. Many of them are Members of Parliament.

why can't you be white and wear sandals, come and live in my state where it gets to 45 degrees c in summer and not wear thongs, flip flops or sandals

them's the rules, pal. abide by them or get packed off to auschwitz.

i wont wear sandals ever but i am considering shorts. it is really, really hot in berlin.

Lovely clogs there.Sexy.

Wow.
Those are horrible!

Shut up!

i think you can pull em off Sonicl... you passed the main thing and thats the no-socks rule.
