Part 5
The next morning Roland woke up aching a little from ride the day before but feeling energised. He'd no idea that the area around his home village could be so beautiful and exciting to explore. He spent the day at work thinking how good the bike ride had been and hoping he could go mountain biking again the next weekend. As he came home he saw Jason in front of his house servicing the two bikes. As Roland passed he asked Jason if they could ride together again soon and could they go back to Pelican Bay, and Jason had replied that he was free on Saturday, “Come around at 8am.” he said, “There'll be more time to spend at the Bay if we start early, oh and this time you can make the sandwiches !”
Roland crossed back over to his side of the road with a feeling of eager anticipation.
When Jason finished servicing the two bikes he locked them in the garage and went back into the house. He opened up the two back packs they'd used on the ride and emptied them out on the kitchen floor. He threw the empty food wrappers in the the bin and put the black and red cycle shorts in the wash pile. Then he found the damp black speedos in the bottom of the bag. He opened them out but couldn't help examining them, they were a boys rather than a man's size and while Roland had worn them the stitching had started to go. The Lycra fabric had started to wear and loose it's elasticity causing the rear to droop somewhat. Jason hung them up to dry feeling sorry for the poor worn out and over stretched garment.
He went to his computer and looked up a sportswear shop in the nearest city, they specialised in club racing swimwear. On the website he found what he was looking for a pair of 2” side Arena swim briefs and they had them in red. The old black speedos looked like they had 3” sides so the Arena ones would be a bit briefer, the cut of the Italian made Arena swim briefs would be lower and more adult than the school ones, the red colour was exactly what Roland had dreamed of. Jason hit the “Order” button and put in his details.
He then went onto Ebay and did a search for Seobean, swim, brief and came up with a number of hits. He searched through them finding a Japanese style, 1” side swim bikini brief with a pouch front, rear mesh seam, red front and back, white sides and a blue flash under the front. He'd seen them before, liked them and now felt they looked exactly right for Rowland. He knew that as they were coming from China they would take several weeks to arrive, he laughed to himself as he hit the “Buy Now” button.

On his way home from work on the Friday of that week Rowland was wondering what had happened to his old school speedos. He'd worn them at Pelican Bay and he was sure that he'd put them in his back pack, maybe he'd dropped them at the settlement. He'd ask Jason when he saw him in the morning if he'd seen them. He went to the centre of the village where the shops were and bought some cold meat and bread rolls for the next day's lunch in the grocers. As he paid Mrs Cullen who ran the shop started talking to him.
“Have you heard about that Mr Grubber that lives near you ? He's been going up to the old settlement with some surveyors, they had theodolites ! And another thing, he's had a package delivered, a very small package, Postie thought it was kind of squishy and then discovered that whatever was inside it was red fabric ! Mr Westerly who runs the Outfitters was furious when he found out. 'Does he think I can't sell red stuff ?' he said. He's sending his son Alex to the city in the van on Monday telling him to buy something red.”
Roland was confused and desperately trying not to show it. He knew this involved him somehow but couldn't work out how he fitted into it, The small red fabric thing in a package could be anything but red was his favourite colour, or was that just coincidence ? He took his change and almost ran from the shop. Mrs Cullen realised she'd hit a nerve but couldn't quite make a connection.
As he walked home Roland wondered what Alex would be buying in the city, something red, the Outfitters never sold anything red in the men's department. He remembered Alex as the boy who had tried to buy condoms when he was 15, if he was now choosing the clothes the Outfitters was selling the village was going to change.
If there were men with theodolites walking about in the settlement, they might have found his black speedos.

This very boring and somewhat sad little town is turning into a very interesting one. Thanks.

Part 6
Saturday morning and Roland got up early, he dressed in a black tee shirt and his black football shorts, went down to have a decent breakfast and make up the rolls for lunch. He was out of the house and across the road in plenty of time for 8am.
Jason Grubber dressed in his cycling jersey and tight trackie bottoms was taking the bikes out of the garage and laying them down on the lawn. Roland had his own small back pack today, as well as the lunch he'd packed a towel. Jason had also packed a towel and his swim suit this time as they'd planned to go back to Pelican Bay. Slipping a water bottle into the cage of each bike and the bikes were ready. The two men greeted each other as they strapped on the cycle helmets and pulled on their mitts.
They mounted the bikes and cycled through the village towards the track leading to the settlement.
A Ford Transit van passed them heading the other way, they didn't see the driver but recognised the Outfitter's logo on the side.
Mr Weatherly and his son Alex were in the van on their way to their shop, the Outfitters. From the passenger seat Alex recognised Roland wearing a cycle helmet and riding a mountain bike. Roland looked happy, and remembering his BMX days Alex suddenly wanted a mountain bike. He didn't know the other cyclist but guessed it must be Mr Grubber. There had been a lot of gossip in the village over Mr Grubber during the week, Postie had reported that Mr Grubber had been delivered a small, squishy parcel in which there was supposed to be something made of red fabric. Alex had been ordered by his father to take the van into the wholesalers in the city and buy some men's red shorts, tee shirts and underwear on Monday just to show that he could sell red stuff too. Maybe while he was in the city he could look at bike too. His father had never let him drive to the city before or trusted him to buy stock in the wholesalers so Alex intended to have have some fun. Ever since he was 15 and had tried to buy condoms in the Chemists he'd hated the repression and gossip in the village and if he could upset the village gossip Mrs Cullen by selling red shorts and briefs to all the men and boys so much the better. He was sure she wouldn't be pleased to see him riding around on a mountain bike and so much the better. He must get around to seeing Roland some time, perhaps they could ride together, but he couldn't manage that until after Mondays drive to the city.
Reaching the track to the settlement Roland took first place and led the way up the hill, he was breathing hard and sweating and knew that Jason would still be cool but he felt good on the bike today and wanted to show it. When they arrived in the settlement Roland saw a number of short white stakes in the ground in various places but he couldn't work out a pattern, he thought of the men with theodolites and wondered again if they'd found his speedos.
They stopped in the same spot as last time and Jason handed Roland the red and black cycle shorts, he then stripped off his black trackies leaving him in black and gold cycle shorts. Roland didn't bother hiding in the ruined shack this time, Jason had already seen him naked, so he just pulled off his football shorts over his trainers and stepped into and pulled up the Lycra cycle shorts, he loved how they felt cool and tight as pulled them on and knew his manhood was rising slightly to the occasion. He stepped into the shack and quickly looked around but couldn't see his speedos.
Roland then asked Jason what the surveyors had been doing in the settlement during the week.
“Ah!” said Jason, “Glad you asked me, it's your fault really, we're planning to set up a National Coastal Cycle Route, the settlement is scheduled to become a camp site with a cycle hire shop, a swimming pool and a restaurant looking over it. The National Sports Council had offered to match grants made by the State Tourist Office, the tourist office would only make the grant if there was local involvement, your village council never even replied so in the end the tourist office said we could have the grant if only one person from the village went cycling into the hills and you were it. We've got the grants and bought the settlement, I'm the architect.”
“Couldn't you have told me all that last week ?” asked Roland, “Oh no.” said Jason “If you'd know it would have broken the rules.”
Roland paused for a moment trying to take it all in “Err ?” he said “ Did any of the surveyors find my speedos?”
Jason burst out laughing, “I'd forgotten, I have them here, you left them in the back pack last week.” He handed Roland a plastic carrier bag, Roland opened it and pulled out his worn, but dry, black speedos, but there was something else in the bag, a small mail parcel with Jason's name and address on it, it had been torn open in one corner revealing an inner bag containing something made of glossy red fabric. “What's this ?” said Roland, recognising the parcel as the one described by Mrs Cullen in the grocers the night before, the parcel that had caused so much trouble at the Outfitters.
“It's a gift” said Jason, “It's something you definitely need and I hope it's something you'll like, open it and find out.”
Roland opened the parcel and found saw a card marked Arena and picture of a man in red swim briefs on top of the glossy red fabric. Breaking the seal and pulling out the swim briefs Roland gasped in pleasure. The swim briefs looked so new and perfect, red and almost glowing in the morning sunshine, Roland's jaw dropped and he couldn't breath looking at their simple beauty, he felt his manhood growing without control in his cycle shorts at the thought of wearing them, of swimming in them, and they were his size too.
“Thank you so much.” he said “We'd better get to Pelican Bay so I can try them on, I want to swim in them as soon as I can.”

Part 7
Roland enjoyed the ride from the Settlement along the ridge to the hanging valley lake, the two mountain bikers changed places several times along the way, Roland using power and effort to push the pace while Jason rode efficiently and skilfully. Roland was eager to get there, each time he thought of those red Arena Santamaria swim briefs he'd feel a surge in his loins.
At the lake they again refilled their water bottles and then sped down the gully to the beach below.
Dumping the bikes on the sand Roland pulled out both the brief and his towel from the pack. He wrapped the towel around him to change into the briefs not because he was ashamed to let Jason or anyone else on the beach see him naked, but because he wanted to pull away the towel to reveal the red briefs. After pulling off the cycle shorts and struggling into the snug briefs he pulled his black tee shirt over his head and dropped the towel. Everything went well except that he had a raging errection which he kept inside the briefs by tying the waist cord tightly. Standing forwards of Jason so he couldn't see the front he than ran full pelt across the sand to the sea. Stepping over waves he plunged in and swam out fast, the red swim brief just held tightly to his body, sliding through the water with him as he swam. He swam to chest deep water and just felt the fit of the swim briefs with his hands, they seemed perfect, the low cut revealing just the very top of his ass crack in a teasing manner, his now semi erect manhood snug and supported at the front of the suit. He noticed how the sides of the suit was just an inch briefer than his old black briefs, the red ones just felt and looked so much better in the clear warm water.
Roland looked inshore to see Jason wading and then swimming towards him, he seemed to be wearing a very brief bikini swim suit, they were a grey green at the front, had light blue sides and a flash of pink came from under the front. There was a word printed on the front of the bikini briefs it read Seo something but Roland couldn't make out the rest. Roland thought that Jason looked pretty good in the bikini swim briefs but he preferred his red Arena Santamarias, they were what he had dreamed of, better than what he had dreamed of, and they were making him hard again. Before Jason could reach him Roland turned and swam out deeper into the bay, Jason raced after him but Roland the better swimmer stayed ahead and led him on.
Eventually that came ashore, splashed about in the shallows then ran themselves dry on the beach. Walking back to their bikes they lay down on their towels side by side in the sunshine and relaxed a while before lunch. “I like your bikini briefs.” said Rowland “But I just love these Arena ones, the colour is just what I dreamed of and the fit is just brilliant, thank you so much.”
“Seeing you so happy wearing them made getting them for you worthwhile, it's a pleasure.” said Jason.
They then sat in their swimwear in the sunshine and enjoyed a leisurely lunch together.

After lunch they relaxed in the sun for a while longer then stripped off their swim briefs and put their cycle shorts back on without bothering to cover up with towels. They pushed the bikes off the beach and began to ride back up the gulley to the lake and then homewards to the Settlement. At the Settlement Roland changed back into his black football shorts and Jason put his trackies back on. Roland was beginning to think he needed some better shorts, the football shorts seemed sad compared to his new red Arena briefs and the cycle shorts he's been wearing.
When they returned to Jason's house and were putting the bikes away Roland said “ I think it's time I had my own mountain bike, I've been saving money since I started work (there's nothing to spend it on round here) so I can afford it but I want my own bike and my own kit, what should I do?”
After the bikes were secure Jason led him into the house to his computer. He switched on the computer and opened an internet page from a big cycle dealer in the city. Using filters he found a selection of four entry level, hard-tail, front suspension mountain bikes. Roland asked “What does entry level mean ?” Jason answered that “Entry level bikes are good enough to enter races but not good enough to win, but the bikes built to win races are built so lightly that they don't last long.”
Jason explained that the four bikes were from different decent brands but the quality of build and components was much the same between them. Roland looked at the pictures, one was a deep red, it tugged his heart, it had to be this bike. Jason measured Roland's inside leg then selected the correct size on the screen. “Pay me when it arrives.” he said and clicked the “Basket” button.
Roland also ordered a cycle helmet, red cycle mitts and a matching cycle shorts and jersey set in red with yellow trim, before Jason hit the “Buy” button.

Torchwater,

I have enjoyed reading your story so far. Roland is becoming more sure of himself with Jason's help.

Please continue your story it's very good.

Part 8
On the Thurday of the week following the second bike ride Roland was walking home from work and just approaching his home when he saw the courier's van outside Jason's house. He saw the courier take a large cardboard box from the back of the van and guessed it was his new bike and cycle clothing inside. He followed the courier up the drive to the house and waited while the courier knocked. Jason answered the door and signed for the package. Jason then got a knife and carefully cut the box open, pulling out the bike frame, wheels and other parts. It took Jason and Roland only a few minutes to assemble the bike and then Roland mounted it and rode it around the street. “It's beautiful.” he said “And it rides so well, I'll take it into the Post Office and get the money to pay for it.”
“By the way.” said Jason as Roland got ready to leave, “ I have to go to meetings in one of the other villages this weekend, I can't ride with you.”
There was no bank in the village, everyone had Post Office accounts that gave them access to their money any time the Post Office was open. Roland then rode through the village towards the shops, he noticed a couple of boys kicking a ball about on the way, they were wearing wine red shorts and matching shirts, the shorts were cut well above the knee and the boys had visible legs, they looked good. Nearer the village centre a man was taking a dog for a walk, he was wearing the same shorts and short sleeved shirt as the boys had been. There was colour in the the village, surely this was the clothing that Alex Weatherly had gone to the city to buy.
The Post Office was a kiosk at the back of the grocers, Mrs Cullen was behind the screen today, Roland approached her, handed over his account card and asked for the money he owed Jason for the bike. “What do you want so much for ?” Mrs Cullen asked “I've bought a mountain bike.” said Roland, “What's happening in this village ?” said Mrs Cullen “All these new bikes and colourful clothes, it's just not right !”
“It's change.” said Rowland, “It's coming and things are going to be better around here when the cycle route and the camp site come.”
“It's not right, everything's been so nice and quiet in this village, and that's the way we like it.” Mrs Cullen said as she somewhat grudgingly handed over the money.”
Wondering about the wine red shorts and shirts Roland went into the Outfitter a couple of doors away. Turning into the men's wear section he saw a manikin wearing the same clothes as the boys and the man with the dog. The fabric was a knitted polyester dyed to a rich burgundy colour, the shirts had a collar and vie neck but no buttons, the shorts although rather short had pocket on each hip. As he was looking at them Alex Weatherly came over asking “Can I help you Mr Druid ?”
Roland asked if he could try on a a shirt and shorts set. In the changing room Rowland stripped off his work clothes and put on the new wine red shorts and shirt noticing that the shorts had a liner and a waist cord so could be used for swimming, then he looked in the mirror. The clothes looked good on him and he noticed that his legs were tanning nicely above the knees from his time on the beach wearing the red swim briefs. Putting his work clothes to the till and presenting them and his debit card to Alex he noticed how hard he was getting.
Alex took the shorts and shirt and bagged them, but rather than taking the debit card he said “Would you fancy something to wear at the weekend, sir ?” What do you mean?” asked Roland.
Alex opened a drawer under the till and took out some red cotton briefs, they were very brief and had a pronounced pouch front, Roland's bulge grew as Alex passed them to him to feel and see. “Yes I'll take a pair of those too, please.” said Roland.
After returning the debit card Alex said “Roland, I saw you riding that mountain bike with a friend on Saturday morning, You looked so good that when I was in the city on Monday I bought my own mountain bike, if you are free on Sunday can I go for a ride with you ?”
“Yes.” said Roland taken aback, “We could go to Pelican Bay, bring a towel and swimming trunks, you'll need lunch and a water bottle.”

Part 9
Roland and Alex met at the bottom of the track to the settlement on the following Sunday morning, Roland on his new red mountain bike wearing his new red and yellow cycle jersey and shorts but with his black football shorts over the cycle shorts, he'd cut the liner out of them so they would fit better. Alex was also on a new bike, he'd chosen a full suspension bike on his trip to the city, he was wearing one of the burgundy red shirt and shorts sets from his store. They greeted each other when they met and started up the slope. Alex noticed some of the effort he put into climbing the hill was lost into his suspension and was soon sweating and breathing hard, Roland's bike took it easily and with a couple of rides to his credit was riding cool and easy. At the settlement there was a big new sign, it read “Site acquired by National Coastal Cycle Route for construction of the Settlement Camp site.” While Alex took a mouthful of water Roland stripped off his black football shorts revealing the complete skin tight red and yellow shorts and jersey set. Roland led off along the ridge allowing Alex to follow him with a full view of his tight Lycra clad ass. At the hanging valley Alex was amazed at the beauty of the lake, so close to home yet he'd never heard it was there.
Roland let Alex take the lead riding down through the gulley beside the stream, the long downhill with it's tight corners and manoeuvring was ideal for the full suspension bike.
When they got down to the sandy beach of Pelican Bay they dismounted and headed for an area of dunes at the back of the beach towards the smaller bay. Finding a flat area in the dunes they dropped their bikes and laid out their towels. Roland stripped off his cycle clothing and put on his red Arena
Santamarias not worrying that Alex saw him changing. Alex had planned to swim in his new burgundy red shorts so he just pulled off his shirt. They ran together down to the sea skipped over a few waves and plunged in. alex found he could swim more freely in his new shorter shorts than the ones he usually wore on the village beach but was jealous of how Roland looked and moved through the water in the Arena swim briefs. He decided then and there to get a stock of brightly coloured speedos in adult sizes for the shop.
Coming out of the water they splashed around in the shallows for a while then Roland undid the waist cord on his Arenas letting the ends of the strings fly loose as they ran themselves dry on the sand. They went back to where their gear was and lay side by side on their towels. After a while Roland was lying face down, sunbathing and relaxing, looking at him Alex had an urge to touch him. Alex pulled out a tube of sun cream and said to Roland “Would you like some sun cream on your back ?” Roland assented so Alex squirted sun cream into his hands then began to massage it into Roland's shoulders. Roland flinched slightly at the first touch of the cool cream on his hot skin then relaxed and let Alex carry on. From the shoulders Alex worked his way to Roland's back coming lower and lower, he loved the way the low cut Arenas showed off the top of his ass, showing a little ass crack and the tops of the globes of his buttocks. He let his fingers massage down to the line of the swim briefs then let one finger sneak under the Lycra covering Roland's ass crack. Roland didn't complain so Alex started massaging sun cream on the skin under Roland's briefs, he pulled the briefs down a little, bit by bit until the whole of Roland's ass was exposed and he could enjoy smoothing the sun cream into the warm skin. When he 'd finished he told Roland to turn over, “I can't !” said Roland, “Just turn over.” commanded Alex.
Roland turned over allowing Alex to see the huge erection in front of his red swim briefs, Alex gasped but started to put sun cream on the front of Roland's shoulders then massaging his way down Roland's chest, his belly and down to his waist line. In one move Alex lifted the top edge of the front Roland's red briefs and pulled them down, Roland's cock suddenly released just stood straight up almost in Alex's face. Alex rubbed sun cream on the skin around Roland's cock and balls then gently taking hold of the shaft smoothed in the oil still on his fingers, Roland began gasping, arching his back and pushing down with his pelvis. He tried to control himself and hold back but Alex's touch had driven him too far and he just had to cum, spurting it over his belly and way up onto his chest. After cleaning himself up with his towel he turned on Alex and said “Right, your turn now, give the sun cream and lie face down.” he then repeated the whole process until he'd forced Alex to cum too. They rested a while longer before having a second swim, to wash off then returned to the bikes for lunch.
Later they returned to the village sharing a secret and feeling good about it and each other, but both of them wanting to do more mountain bike rides, and more visits to Pelican Bay.
