Thinking about making the complete transition to full body kit lycra. No, not a racer, but like the fact that lycra is tight and lightweight. Loose shorts and sleeves often get caught on seat and tree limbs.

No offense, but the danimal definitely does not approve. Sure, scientifically you can make the case for lycra (getting caught on the seat, tree branches etc) but the fact is that we mountain bikers are supposed to be the cool crowd. We have reputations and I am afraid that may dilute our image. So you are at a crossroads; get caught on branches or get caught looking like a... :lol:

just to spite the danimal, I will wear full lycra kit (pink of course), with SPD SANDALS. And I will have this picture on the crotch of my tight-ass biker shorts.
