i went and put bibs on just to read the thread. no jersey tho. don’t call me a poseur!
Nice rugged bloke style!
Ride all day for work, no lycra.
Fuck lycra.
Yeh, but you’re young and dumb. You’ll wise up.
I commute in lycra 32 kms each way, but under shorts. I’m on a brooks as well, so I can get away without lycra if needed.
When I’m going for a “ride” ride it’s lycra all the way. But that’s mostly just to piss off the people in the coffee shop.
To and from work under jeans / shorts and usually on a mid week ride.
Full Lycra if I’m doing a “proper” ride, if I’m going to the pub / shops, no Lycra.
I’ve tried both, lycra is second best!
Lycra under shorts somewhere above 30ks where chafing may be an issue.
Maybe uppers in summer when sweat is an issue.
Otherwise I think unnecessary except when in competition/training for.
Every time I ride the road bike. I don’t ride this to the shops.
Might have ridden once or twice fixed in Lycra, long beach run with mates on their roadies.
>100m no - 100m> yes
100m rides sound like fun
I just checked and Proud Mary is 350m away from home - so. Lycra every ride.
I made this table that I stuck in my cupboard at home to help me with this exact question.
^ hardcore right there. love it
wear my at least bibs/bib short under my shorts, don’t think i can ride without em now…
151+k’s without lycra?
your nether regions must have some pretty serious callouses 
Me i get serious crotchal chafeage after more than ~20k’s unless i wear nicks (always under baggy shorts though) but i have fat thighs and sweat heaps
heh!
I don’t think I’ve worn lycra since the late 80’s when cycling shorts, bum bags and fluro “bad to the bone” tees were fashionable.
