Spandex is the enemy... I hate biking in spandex, but it really helps.

I race XC MTB and also road cycle and triathlons. Spandes ain't that bad, you get used to it. Lycra is a little more comfortable. And chick team-mates look great in it.

I think guys who can wear spandex and not feel totally mortified about it are great...

i always wear my lycra shorts underneath of my azonic shorts and pants when i am out riding. Gives a little extra padding for the two other passengers riding on the seat.

I never raced, but want to start. I want to start doing some triathlons. I would be OK with spandex, comeon everyone else is wearing it when they race!

Yeah, I used to shave my legs for it also, and also for waterpolo. It definatley is better to shave them. and Spendex ain't half as bad as people make out. The only people who complain about it are peeps who've never worn it.

haha i like how everyone is cool about wearing spandex for biking but as soon as someone mentions spandex for ski racing all of a sudden its gay, it makes you think though

Who said that it was gay for ski racing? Like I said before, people who are secure enough with themselves to wear spandex are cool.

not true- spandex does hike up. make sure you wear nthing under it.

but if you wear nothing under it, make sure it doesn't have HOLES IN IT! (gr me)
