G'day cyclists!
Anthony has braved to do the first five stages of le tour de Disneyland (Sydney to Melbourne leg) in budgy smugglers. (yaaay!)

But there's is slight problem :shock: (awww....!) he can't decide which colour to wear! Can you help him make is mind by recommending one of the colours/designs displayed on the following link?

http://budgysmuggler.com.au/smugglers/

A guy's recommendation is counted as 1 vote
A girl's recommendation is counted as 2 votes (let's face it, they know a bit more about fashion than us blokes)

Note: You can give recommendations, but the final decision is made by the brave man himself.

If he's lost all sanity to not use knicks, then may as well go all the way.... i recommend "Chicksdigem", close second is "Romantics"

T-Bone, wot's romantics? You made it up?!


Anthony, can you put a photo of yourself so that others can see how you look like and give better recommendation about which colour will suit you?

Anthony you have taken leave of your senses if you intent to do 5 x 200k days in a pair of sluggo's. They invented nicks for a reason. You may never sit down again.

Stuart,
They invented knicks because someone was yet to invent good saddles back then. Well, at least this is wot Geoff says, that you don't need knicks if you have the right saddle for ya.

I have done two half Ironman triathlons in budgy smugglers without any chaffing issues or sore bum. I once did 160km ride in budgy smugglers without any issues.

I guess I have more experience of riding long distances in budgy smugglers than any of the skeptics here. I think it is an urban myth that they are uncomfy.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and mine is that they would be extremely uncomfortable over longs distances, or even short ones for that matter. Plus there is the issue of people thinking you are plain weird, especially as you move further away from Sydney. I've never met a really comfortable saddle yet but each to their own and if this crusade to get men to wear nylon undies on their bicycles is your thing, then go for it and if you can get willing participants, then all the better I guess.

Understandably triathletes cycle in them, but then triathletes must like pain just to want to punish themselves like that, so I rest my case :roll:

If they are comfortable for you, go for it....although I guess you are not wanting children in the near future? I read some where that cycling in budgey smugglers is great contraception.
