"...can some cyclist tell me why they wear spandex..... they don’t seem gay so why wear it"

Cycling shorts are made of a form-fitting, light-weight elastic material (Lycra) that maximizes comfort and support and wicks moisture away from the body. They are form fitting and stretch in every direction to provide both comfort and freedom of movement. The surface is slick in texture to provide the least resistance to wind as possible.
