Borat vs The ‘Lady Knicker’: When Good Cycling Gear Goes Bad
February 22nd, 2008 by Nicci Annette Cycling, Golf
I recently blogged about the questionable outfits that seem to be de riguer for those wanting to play golf, however I have just seen something even more alarming on this blog. Called the “Lady Knicker”, this strange looking outfit is apparently the new must-have of the female cycling world. I can absolutely understand the necessity for comfortable, stretchy and breathable clothing when you are hunched over a racing bike for a few hours, and appreciate that Swiss biking company Assos has put a lot of research into creating this suit that is ‘designed to anatomically contour the female body’, however it seems to me that it leaves the delicate and, let’s face it, potentially bouncy upper region of said female body dangerously unsupported. Oh, hold on a second, it’s not that you aren’t supposed to wear something under/over the ‘Lady Knicker’, it’s just another case of ‘Sex Sells’. Silly me.
As an afterthought: having seen the photos of the LK, I knew that I had seen something like this before, and finally the penny dropped when I checked out this blog . At least Borat is getting the support he so badly needs.
