Advice for riding in tight pants

It occured to me today that I rarely ride with anyone, mainly because so many people I've seen riding in tight pants are all over the place and often a danger to themselves.

If you've ridden with an erection, or 'boner' you'll know most of this already. But if not, there are some useful tips around for riding well in tight pants (I'm not going to use the word 'Bee Gees'!). Summer is coming and some good pants too in which to practice this.

so, on with the tips:

1. Let others know if you're dressing to the left or right. A clear "on your left / right" if you're coming through, for example.
   
2. Relax
   
   
   

I'm sure I missed stuff...

1. Respect the experience of those with tighter pants than you. Your pants may be tight, but they will have ridden many more miles in those pants.

BDW pulls them off though

1. make sure you have padding, just in case...

i completely lost my train of thought and can no longer give the witty reply Tynans thread deserves

Yes, and if you're riding in tight pants you should follow the advice given by Tynan. He is both mystical and wise.
