i can remember when chicks were cladded in spandex/lycra wit leotards, bodysuits, and catsuits, ala salt & pepa & susan summers from thighmaster fam, but i cant remember walking down da street look at random cats looking like they headed to da Tour Deforce..

Other than Mars Blackmon & that one MC Hammer scene from "u cant touch this" was folks really walking da streets lookin like Lance Armstrong doppelgangers in large numbers in da 80's?

I remember the cycling shorts era in the late 80's up until 91.

Where's my shoutout for this?

I don't remember how long this lasted. I might've been too young.

But I remember this and the cycling hats were absolutely a thing.

Peep White Men Can't Jump too.

I remember rocking cycling shorts heavy during summer 89 and 90. Things were crazy comfortable, and they were the only shorts that I took with me on a road trip to California that year.

I think it lasted for about 2 summers. This was before my time however.

Visors,

I have a friend that lives in Kentucky that never stopped wearing them.

I honestly don't even remember the last time I saw a visor for sale somewhere.

a couple OGs on my block told me how they used to dress back in da day, and these cats told me how chicks would grab at their junk at functions in these shorts & some wierdo got caught stuffin his joint and got clowned at some party

when i saw da R&B group pic it reminded me of that fad theyvwere referring to.

I never even noticed that this was a fad, but now that I think about it, quite a few folks were rocking the bicycle shorts
