That’s a mini-kilt.

Trust me, the longer kilts make it more difficult to ride. That’s when you run into top tube problems.

The bibs ruin some effects and assist with others…. if you can call staying out of jail for indecent exposure an effect.

So crotch friction is bad?

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little!

Me: “I found some black pants with a stretchy waistband that will make a cool pair of bike knickers.”

The wife: “I want you to repeat what you just said, but this time listen to yourself.”

All you single people are jealous of my life.

Dear Bike Manufacturers,

All of the people writing in this post, myself included, are in dire need of bicycles that come with chain guards. Some or us may ride for recreation, but all of us ride for transportation as well. The same goes for every single person who has ever ridden a bicycle in the history of time.

We are currently scouring the internet and writing in bike forums in desperate attempts to find pants that resemble normal clothing but won’t get dirtied and/or caught by our exposed chains.

Below you’ll find pics of cheap 21-speed bikes by Huffy and Schwinn that are made with chain guards. If they were able to design such bikes with chain guards, why can’t you?

I’m not such a fan of sporting spandex gear when meeting people out, nor am I a fan of tearing through clothes by riding in pants not made to handle the wear and tear of cycling, so I invested in a few pairs of betabrand cordarounds, and swrve regular trim fit jeans. What makes these pants better suited to handle the wear and tear of cycling? It’s the Gusseted Crotch! And what is a gusseted crotch? Well….Funny story.

There is an action Super Hero named Chuck Norris. Mr. Norris is most well known for kicking ass. But as a Walker Texas Ranger he had a uniform that required him to wear jeans ALL the time and most jeans cannot handle the wear and tear of roundhouse kicking bad guys in the face. So Chuck Norris teamed up with a company known as “Action Jeans” to create a pair of jeans that could withstand his roundhouse kicking ways. The secret to these jeans are the gusseted crotch. The gusset allows for greater movement without ripping or binding. More info on these action jeans can be found here:

Um, the men they use for models are, um, nicely endowed.
