There are always the beautiful shots of France, and then there are the bikers, and if you like NASCAR for the wreaks, then there are those also. The most boring day of the race ever, was on the 16th day of the 1982 tour when protesting farmers blocked the road with their equipment, and the riders were at a dead stop.
If you watch the long version, in the early morning, you will see the peloton (French work for the pack of bikers) pull to the side of the road, as the riders pull out their cocks, and piss while still astride their bikes. Yes it is a group piss, and there are cameras everywhere, though they don't intend to show anything explicit, there is little modesty when this occurs.
The ones to watch this year are the brothers, Frank and Andy Schleck.
Amtop - Maybe you can answer something that I've been curious about for awhile. Why is bike wear so clownish? The outfits are ridiculously loud - almost painful to the eyes. I realize they might need to be bright so cars see you coming, but jesus, can't they be one solid color or something?
ReplyDeleteLove the cock head showing in those white cycling shorts! Is that you in the picture?
ReplyDeleteNo, its not me, I wear black shorts, so its harder to see my cock.
ReplyDeleteAs for color of jersey, what is shown in the polka dot jersey which is the "King of the Mountain" winner of a designated portion of one day of the race. There is also the Yellow Jersey for the overall leader of the 21 days of racing, the Green Jersey, for over all points leader, the White Jersey for the best youngest rider.
As for why there are clownish colors, I think that goes to historical precedence in jerseys along with bad taste of the designers, and the need to put logos of sponsors on the jerseys.
What is behind the showing of cock? Is it a gay thing? Why is it so common to show off in biking shorts as well as in racing suits for swimmers?
ReplyDeleteI can only say that for cycling, seeing a cock through the shorts is the fantasy. In reality I either don't see this, or for some reason don't notice. I know when I ride that my cock has to be in a position that is going to be comfortable while riding, and the position in the photo is not comfortable.
ReplyDeleteI think otherwise being able to show a cock off while still technically being covered and decent, is a guy thing in general. My shorts don't show the outline of my cock, but I do have a bulge and I've gotten over the modesty feeling I initially had while wearing biking shorts.
There are a lot of bike riders in my town, and I've never seen blatant cock like that. I think you are right that it is a fantasy. Sorry, but the clownish costumes they ride around in are just hilarious. I'm starting to think I could have a career in designing these outfits - someone with some taste needs to step in and deal with this bike fashion crisis!
ReplyDeleteI just started watching it today and the sea of waxed muscular legs and arms was a bit of a turn on. Mark Cavendish, when he was briefly on the podium, set off my gaydar and mine is pretty bad. Maybe it was the way he walked after being on the bike for so long. It really doesn't matter either way. He has great legs like all of them, especially the guy with the tear in his shirt on the shoulder. I didn't catch his name though.
