A Good Reason To Wear Cycling Shorts

[DismalScientist]

All that may be true. Please wear all the lycra you can find. There’s nothing I like better than watching lycra-clad poseurs eat my dust as this old geezer screams by in street clothes on my 25 year old bike, with shifters on the downtube, as God intended…:p

So far I’ve purchased whatever I find on sale. But I have to admit, I like Pearl Izumi the best for comfort and fit. That being said, I will continue to buy whatever I find on sale. From a female perspective I prefer to wear bike knickers because they stay in place, there is no shifting, and no riding up, but I wouldn’t wear them into the grocery store.

#1 reason for me, PADS!!! I broke my tailbone about ten years ago. My bike is horribly uncomfortable after even a mile without padded shorts, but with good shorts, I can ride a Century and only get a minor case of numbum. Being that I ride 500-700 miles a month, I definitely can’t afford to be uncomfortable.

BTW: GORGEOUS weather today, hope everyone got out on the saddle!
