Podium Cycling sells this boss Pee-Wee Herman skinsuit for your Big Adventures. They also do Spider-Man and various other novelties (light-up Tron, "hipster," etc), but Pee-Wee takes the cake.

Pee-wee Inspired Skinsuit (Thanks, Fipi Lele!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    “Pee-wee takes the cake.” 

    Wasn’t that the name of his last movie?

  • rocketpjs

    Awesome and I wish I had the body shape to get away with those cycling outfits.

    • chaopoiesis

      Too big in the shoulders.

    • Antinous / Moderator

      They could make a Francis skinsuit for full-figured cyclists.

        “E-everyone wanted my bike.  Why, just last week, Francis offered me…   FFFFFRRRRRRANCISSSSSSSSSS!!!!”

  • http://profiles.google.com/bentobjects Terry Border

    Very nice. I don’t understand the circle around the crotch though.

    • rocketpjs

      Usually padding and some extra material to resist the wear that comes with a lot of cycling.

      • Ramone

        Unfortunate that they didn’t go with a lighter grey for seam.

        • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_6VEPHFV2EU5OQ264UHBKNEF2UQ R J

          First reading, i thought you wrote lighter grey for semen

    • Felton / Moderator

      There’s a lotta things about me you don’t know anything about, Dottie…

      • M Carlson

         I still use the “I’m a loner, Dottie…” line and it’s the rare soul that gets it.

    • nixiebunny

      Then you don’t understand Pee Wee Herman.

    Hm, I’m doing a charity ride in May, having trouble getting donations.  Maybe if I promise to dress as Peewee or Superman and post pics…

    We’re pulling for you PeeWee!

      And PeeWee is pulling for you, too.

      What, too soon? Too late?

  • parfae

    Sure, but you’d probably get your bike stolen if you wore it.

    One of the past years in RAGBRAI had someone riding in a full Captain America costume, complete with foam rubber muscles, and a little shield on the front of his handlebars. Not sure how he stood the heat in Iowa in the last week of July. There was a guy last year who had a full-body (including full head mask) tie-dye leotard. RAGBRAI is pretty incredible, it wouldn’t surprise me to find out that someone rode the whole thing (across Iowa from west to east) with a Pee-Wee Herman costume on a faithful reproduction of his bike. 

    • Jake0748

       So, do you do the whole RAGBRAI ride with that eye-patch?  :D

      • Halloween_Jack

        Heh, no. Depth perception is a good thing when riding in a group. 

  • noah django

    eh, that’s breddy gud, I guess.  During my tenure as a messenger here in Atlanta, I went as Pee Wee for my first Halloween.  Full thrift store costume, and my bike was already red, then I added some chrome fenders to it.  The part that solidified my rep in the messenger community was, at Ms. Vaughn the clerk’s behest (she was dressed as a witch,) I did the Pee-Wee dance on the counter of the Fulton County Superior Court clerk’s office.  I had “Tequila” on my walkman with an amplified speaker.  When I went up on my toes, the whole office erupted into bedlam.

    I heard they manufacture these in the basement of the Alamo.

       its not something they tell you in school, it’s just something you have to experience for yourself
