Curse you CycleOps… A bike thong? A thong?

Accordingly, Mrs. Bgddy chimed in: “Yours keeps the sweat off of your bike. Mine is a string up my butt”.
Damn.
Alas, I endured one full winter using a towel over my top tube to keep the sweat off of my bike. I’d drop it almost every ride and have to stop to pick it up before commencing my misery on the trainer. Finally it was too much – plus, CycleOps sweetened the pot by adding the phone/remote attachment so I can actually hear my phone ring over the movie I have playing so I can pause it should I have to answer the phone – I found my thong at the bike shop a couple of weeks ago… I had to have it.
Sadly, it’s not quite as sexy as my wife’s thong but at least my bike doesn’t have to be wiped down after every ride anymore.
If, like me, you choose to endure the grinder, AKA “the trainer”, over wrapping yourself up like Ralphie’s little brother in A Christmas Story to train through the winter, definitely pick up a… Um… Dammit. A bike thong.
God Almighty. Phrasing.

Saw the title and wondered…”Why do you need to wear a specific thong to ride your bike?”. But then again there are thongs marketed specifically to runner chicks. Go figure! Seems like a waste of advertising dollars since everyone knows most of us runner chicks prefer commando!
Runner and cycling dudes alike agree. Commando.
Ew. Just…ew.
😁
I have one.. a bike thong, that is. It catches the thweat.
I really need one of these as I’ve been doing the hanging towel thing for too long. It’s even worse on the rollers as the towel can drop onto the spinning front wheel and jam it! Not sure if it’ll clip onto the TT bars though.
It absolutely will wrap around a TT bike’s bar. It’s just Velcro straps. Get one, only $25.
Did you see that Specialized has a STOP SALE order on their carbon aerobars? Trying to find your email to send you the image . . .
Thanks Sandra. It’s not on all carbon aerobars though. It’s the TT aerobars with the integrated stem and then the alloy aerobars… They have a bad bolt. Thanks for looking out sister. 😉
Just care about you! 🙂
I can’t thank you enough sister. It means a lot that you thought of me. Touches my heart.
On the positive-side, no slowin’ down for daddy!
Btw: the missus and I are getting matching kits this year, our local shop “team”. Too cool!
OMG. You are too adorable. BTW: I have missed the past three weeks (of anyone’s posts). Has she done a guest blog yet?
No, she’s not into writing like me… She’s working on Feed the Engine™ darn near full time now, so her attentions are focused elsewhere. April gets here pretty quick.
I put a post together on the issue Sandra. Thanks again for looking out, Chica.
nice, I was looking at getting one but been using an old towel for this. maybe once it goes on sale at my lbs i be picking up 2 (1 for me and 1 for house mate)
They’re definitely worth it.
