I had to laugh when I received the following from an old friend and successful fashion designer over in the UK. She echo’s my sentiments on bikers’ shorts in true British out spoken fashion.
“ps a friend from NY came for dinner at the apt in Paris, it was so embarrassing, she was wearing a T-shirt and cycling shorts, and she weighs 500 lbs, i joke with the weight, but she is FAT !!, It was a dinner, Saturday night in Paris, and she looked like she was going to the supermarket, with all this horrible lumpy fat showing on the tops of her arms and legs, Fran i think u might have said something to her, it was revolting. u can be fat, that’s not the issue, but pls wear the right clothes. She is 65yrs old, so it matters. Why do Americans often have no sense of decorum? ”
That last statement could be debated, and I hope you put forth your two pennies worth!!
Biker shorts are really one of my pet hates both for men and for women. They are even worse for men! I see them every weekend when I go for a hike and stop for a morning coffee. Bikers also stop by for a coffee when enjoying their morning ride at the most fantastic location for a Starbucks on the PV peninsular. The men have very unsexy lumpy lumps at the front of their bike pants and ugly padded butts from behind. The women in this odd fashion often look more appealing, but only by a hair!
Well now, I was searching for blogs on fitness or health when i came across this post. Although not exactly what I was expecting I will give it ****.
