    You have a bicycle you don't have... nor do you wear lycra... your kids are traumatised? I'm confused, Ted

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Some of them look ridiculous in the lycra gear.
    Saw a huge lad on a bike near Carlingford and his arse was hanging well down on each side of the saddle. Come to think of it though if he had a dustbin lid for a saddle it would still be hanging over it.

    I work with a lot of these people.

    Come 5 p.m. on any given evening, I'll be bashing away on my keyboard, when some walking billboard for heart disease, dressed like a turkey in cling-film, will waddle past my desk; squeak squeak squeak, in lycra uniform.

    You are cycling home to fcuking Drumcondra or Ranelagh for jesus sake.

    It isn't the Champs-Élysées stage of the Tour de France. Get a grip lads!

    So what? I know plenty of lads who've taken up cycling and shed stones. Plenty of fat people stuck behind the wheels of cars.

    I'd have more respect for the person out trying to get active and do something about their weight TBH

    No problems with him cycling. It's the silly gear he wore.

    What would you suggest he wears? All sports have specific clothing. Do you think people sailing, horse riding, canoeing or jogging look equally ridiculous?

    But , but, (insert some guff about perspiration). I know it's only about 15-20 mins on a bike but don't ruin my buzz.

    Now it's acceptable, so there :-)

    What's the longest you've cycled in a given day? If you're going to and fro ma job a few km away, no need for cycling specific clothes. Anything over 30 - 40 minutes, it'll be a lot more comfortable.

    At least he's out doing something and trying to lose the weight.

    Fair play to him.

    One chap I know well, nice guy actually, but sadly, he caught "The Cycling" - in came the carbon fibre racer, lycra butt-huggers and the yellow jersey, clip on shoes, the whole nine yards...and he began cycling to and from work..one murky friday afternoon, workmen had just installed brand new entry barriers at the top of the industrial estate - they detect a car approaching and open automatically...sadly, someone had overlooked the "lets detect an approaching bike" bit...Our newly minted lance Armstrong headed home on the racer, head down, going for it...and the barrier levelled him off the back of the bike and into the gutter. I have to admit, a bit of snigger came out my nostrils.

    Disagree. I cycle my little fella to school, GAA at the weekends. Usually in normal clothes - perhaps a pair of shorts, t-shirt for this time of the year. When I'm heading out on a long spin on the bike (over half and hour) I'd like to be as comfortable as possible. So nice padded shorts, wicking fabrics and quick drying lycra. Cycling in wet clothese is truly miserable, so anything I can do to lessen that I will.

    No this lad looked as ridiculous as it gets. Like the Michelin Man in lycra with bulges everywhere. Scary.

    Sure why slag him off. He might have had a health scare, heart attack or something and the doctor told him to lose weight. No issues with him taking measures to do so. Would he be perceived as equally equally offensive in particular clothes designed for horse riding, rally driving, sailing?

    I've so much respect for the seriously overweight people who turn out to charity cycles and club rides or whatnot. I'd be disgusted at anyone who said a word against them in real life.

    Regardless of what weight you are, cycle jersey and cycle shorts are by far the most comfortable thing to wear on a cycle of any real distance.

    But ya know, don't let logic get in the way of a hilarious rant.

    He'd have been better in a tracksuit or something loose fitting until he lost the weight. Not have motorists laughing at him in crazy looking gear. He might have been better suited to a gym before taking to the roads.
