Gear – Bicycling

Skinsuits and California Flag kit

I’ve always been fascinated by skintight gear. Seeing cyclists in bike shorts was an exciting sight when I was younger. It still is today. Cycling gear is fun to wear and very practical, at least if you’re a cyclist. Bicycling to the store and going shopping in a skinsuit can also be quite fun. I have even gone out in my gear without the bike many times to various local bars. I think of cycling gear as the “gateway” gear. It helped me become more comfortable wearing skintight gear in public. Mind you, it is much more accepted on a bicycle. Still, some are uncomfortable wearing the gear in public. The key is to be comfortable with yourself. Once you achieve that, you can go out in pretty much any gear you want.

My favorite skinsuit and other gear. Shoe covers, leg warmers, arm warmers, and my old cyclocross bike.

I started my collection with a simple pair of bike shorts. I found a few places where I could get a good deal online, Voler in particular. I now have many skinsuits, bib shorts, jerseys, arm warmers, leg warmers, and more. Skinsuits are my favorite to ride in. They are a one-piece suit with a jersey and shorts combined. I find them quite comfortable to ride in, though a bit warmer at times. My favorite cycling kit that isn’t a skinsuit is my California Flag kit from Voler. I began my 2009 bicycle tour of old US 99 and the Columbia River Highway in that kit.

Gas Mask Fun

Breath control comes in many forms. My favorite way is to use a gas mask. When a boy is well bound, they have no control over what goes over their heads, and a gas mask helps control what they breathe as well. It helps show them who is in control and how helpless they really are.

sleepsacked and masked. This boy wanted smelly shoes, so I ran the hose into the shoe, forcing him to breathe it all in.

This boy gets to breathe in the lovely aroma of his sweaty crotch while he is bound in the sleepsack.

While leathergloveboy was here, I wanted to experiment. I hadn’t put my five-point shackles on someone backward before. Why not try it out? So, I had him wear his rubber singlet, blindfolded him, and then put him into the shackles. Once in the shackles, I strapped him down to the futon, to further limit his movement. I’d say it worked quite well. I shortened some of the chain with padlock and clip, making it much tighter without putting too much pressure on the neck.
