From the comments from the fairer ( and not so fair) sexes at the office the sight of Ed in lycra shorts is far from upsetting.
One member of my team has even been known to time their arrival at work to have a better view of Ed, resplendent in full lycra, in the bikeshed.......I'll spare his blushes and say no more!!
Mind you the red Assos tights were a marvel - wonder what Nigel Havers would say about those?
