This Just In: Fetishistic Cycling Apparel Company Introduces Groundbreaking Pouch For Your Genitals!

Remember the panties?

Of course you do.

In fact, since last Friday, this Kickstarter had received an additional $7,000.  I'm assuming the reason for this is that they've added a new pledge level by which, if you give $5,000, you receive a pair of panties that has been vigorously cycled in by the model for three very hot and fragrant Austin hours.

Anyway, until recently, Urbanist Cycling Chamois Panties represented the very pinnacle of crotchal engineering.  But no more!  No, when it comes to cycling products, competing with Euro-Freds (Frederiques) is a game you just can't win, and the asses at Assos have officially unveiled the World's Most Expensive Bib Short:


Swiss clothing company Assos today announced a new, four-model range of bib shorts dubbed S7, including the top-of-the-line Campionissimo that will retail for US$519/£309.

So what makes a pair of shorts worth over $500?  Well, a "cooling nest" for your genitals called the "KuKu Penthouse," that's what:


Assos also claims to have four pending patents for the S7 line, including the 'KuKu Penthouse,' a soft pouch for the male genitals on the front of the short that is inserted into a cutout in the chamois.

A "soft pouch" for your schvontz?  I thought this was a joke, but it appears to be real and it's already all over Twitter:


ASSOS invention: The front part of the insert features a round-shaped pattern insert made of skin contact textile, no foam.  Not only does it create a "nest" into which the male's genitals are properly "stored", but also keeps them "cooler".  It's the evolution of "kuKuDeluxe".  You only got 3, protect them!

"A 'nest' into which the male's genitals are properly 'stored'?"  This sounds like the mating process for some hitherto undiscovered mammal--particularly the part about how "you only got 3."  Last time I checked, most human males only had two testicles.  (Well, at least according to the informal hands-on poll I conducted on the subway before getting arrested.)  Apparently, however, the typical Assos customer is a strange three-balled creature whose reproductive organs run so hot he has to insert them into a "cooling nest" and hang them out like a windsock while he's riding.


(Warning: regular contact with crabon bicycles can turn your skin orange.)

This is the face of a man whose three (3) "pants yabbies" are cool as can be inside a KuKu Pentouse:

Meanwhile, here's the face of someone whose shorts are woefully lacking in "nut nest" technology:


Actually, if you look closely, they have the same exact expression, only "Rider B" skipped the body wax and spray-on tan.

All right, I know what you're thinking: "The KuKu Penthouse sounds great, but what about my ass?"  Well, rest assured that in addition to a KuKu Penthouse your $519 Assos shorts also come equipped with a "Rear Terminal," and I'm completely fucking serious:

The cento also gets an unfortunately named feature called the “Rear Terminal.” It is essentially an extra layer sewn in just above the back of the chamois, intended to improve durability in that region.

This is great news for Freds who like to engage in spirited pre- and or post-ride "dry-humping," which can cause tremendous strain on the rear panel of your bib shorts, especially if the person mounting you is slathered in a spray-on tan and has got three (3) nuts.

Anyway, the real winner in all of this (besides comedy) is Rapha, who now seem like Old Navy in comparison:


Wow, "only" $220?  I'll take two, thanks, and I'll still have money left over to make my own DIY high-performance ball-cooling nest out of a pair of crotchless man-panties:


Speaking of roadies and people with odd numbers of testicles, the UCI is as dirty as an Assos "Rear Terminal" after a metric century:


According to an anonymously leaked document — a three-page summary of a 54-page dossier that has existed since June — McQuaid and Verbruggen solicited a bribe from a team owner, bent drug-testing rules for Lance Armstrong and allowed his attorneys to review an independent inquiry into his doping, and attempted to cover up Alberto Contador’s 2010 positive drug test during their tenures as leaders of the Union Cycliste Internationale, the governing body of cycling.

Sweet sweaty Jesus nuts, could we just give this whole fucking sport to North Korea already and be done with it?  It's obvious they have an unquenchable thirst for the dregs of Western sport:


(CNN) -- In The World According to Dennis Rodman, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, whom he just saw on his second trip to the country, is quite likable.

"He has to do his job, but he's a very good guy," Rodman said Monday at a news conference, announcing plans for a "basketball diplomacy" event that will involve players from North Korea.

I agree with Rodman, Kim Jong Un sounds like a very likeable guy:

Kim Jong-Un’s succession as North Korea’s supreme leader after the death of his father, Kim Jong-Il, has had no positive impact on the country’s dire human rights record. More than 200,000 North Koreans, including children, are imprisoned in camps where many perish from forced labor, inadequate food, and abuse by guards. Arbitrary arrest, lack of due process, and torture are pervasive problems. There is no independent media, functioning civil society, or religious freedom. Government policies have continually subjected North Koreans to food shortages and famine. Human Rights Watch is pressing for a UN commission of inquiry to investigate possible crimes against humanity in North Korea. 

So if we're going to turn professional cycling over to North Korea along with Dennis Rodman I think we should start by holding the prologue of the 2014 Tour de France in Pyongang. If you think the Arch de Triomphe makes a splendid backdrop you'll thrill to the spectacle of rider after rider passing between the legs of a statue of Kim Jong-Un.  Or, perhaps they'll even design one of those time trial portals to so the riders can explode right out of the supreme leader's "rear terminal:"


("Sphincter says what?")

Just imagine how awe-inspiring it would be to watch the fastest cyclists in the world exploding one at a time out of a giant facsimile of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un's asshole.

Lastly, if you're in the market for a KuKu Penthouse, no doubt you'll also be intrigued by a $33 crabon key holder (seen at Urban Velo):


Finally, a key-portaging system light and compact enough to secret in your "rear terminal."

  12. I was at a conference (an EPA/NIH thing nonetheless) where a group of entrepreneurs from a fabric company were demonstrating cycling clothing woven with silver thread, in order to capture biometric data. They had one of the domestic pro teams signed on for testing (I forget which). I'd have to guess that bugger's going to top $519. It will do for jerseys what power meters have done for cranks, pedals, etc...

    As for N. Korea, wife's co-worker took a vacation there last year. Looked nice and amazing to see a city essentially billboard-free (though apparently one of their chief exports and sources of outside money is fabricating giant statues). Apparently about 40,000 tourists make it there each year. Looked to me like a total hipster tourist opportunity for the 20-30 somethings who missed out visiting old school communist countries and their touching austerity back in the 70s & 80s.

  21. Actually, I think the Assos model looks slightly more gruntled than the Bib Shorts Guy. I think that's due to the gentle gruntling effect of the Kuku Penthouse.

  22. Good day!
    Where are the cooling panties for girl bits? And I'm sorry, but I've met a man with one, but never one with three.

  26. Other than overseeing a starving population, thriving gulag and unprecedented mass brainwashing, Kim Jong Un is a really nice guy.

    Except for the fact that he just had his ex-ecuted in front of her family. Her offense? A "sex tape" that consisted of her dancing in a leotard to Elvis.

    Dennis, next time you're giving Un a reach-around, could you ask him about that?

  62. I used to work with a guy who liked to hang out in Vegas. Once out there he and a couple buddies were at a lounge and Rodman tried to pick a fight with him 'for no reason' according to my workmate. Granted, my workmate was a cocky scumbag, so I guess like recognizes like.

    About 15 years ago me and some friends were out in the west village at a place we came to discover was an informal after-party for the MTV VMAs. In addition to getting to hold the door for Mike D., I glanced over my shoulder at one point to discover that I was standing back to back with Rodman. He didn't pick a fight with me, he was too busy trying to get into Kennedy's panties. I don't think she was into that.

    What's up with North Korea though, hey? Can you imagine? I mean we might have people rotting in prisons like them, we might have arbitrary arrest and a lack of due process like them, torture like them, no independent media or functioning civil society like them, but we DAMN SURE have religious freedom(*) and PLENTY OF FOOD!

  67. Roille, I'm no apologist for the country-formerly-known-as-having-a-Bill of Rights, but we don't put entire families of executed prisoners in labor camps (Un's ex's family now gets to starve under hard labor, instead of starving while freely singing the praises of the dear leader).

    And holy shit, we don't have to watch horrible psychedelic mass lock-step demonstrations of the people's hysterical love for a chubby little living god.

  68. Cuckoos are known for laying their eggs in other birds' nests. Their eggs hatch more quickly; and the larger cuckoo kicks the other eggs/fledglings out of the next. Hence other birds' nests become kuku penthouses; and the parent birds become cuckoo's slaves.

You know that if you mounted another child seat on the front rack, one of your 16 other children could serve as an air/tissue bag in case of t-boning a taxi - and you have spares (15 more). Before you consider purchasing an expensive front child seat, you should contact your accountant - you ill be losing dependent credits on your taxes Hope this helps
