Description

In this delightfully stretchy episode, we squeeze into the world of Lycra — that shiny, form-fitting fabric beloved by cyclists and feared by café-goers everywhere.

I chat about what it means to wrap yourself in something that leaves very little to the imagination, and why people do it anyway (hint: it's not always about speed). 

I share the awkward glory of public spandex moments, the psychology of dressing like a Tour de France hopeful, and how Lycra somehow turns a casual ride into a full-blown identity. It's part fashion, part function, part midlife crisis — and all fun.

 Come for the Lycra, stay for the laughs — and maybe leave with a little more empathy for the guy ordering a flat white in cleats
