Happened on a weekday morning when it was unlikely that anyone would be along.

Here are some of the guys in the area that wear lycra .........

The time I went out riding without the lycra, my taint got so chafed it bled after about 10 miles. If I'd kept riding without the bibshorts, I would've bled out!
