Are there Road Bike Shorts that aren't tights?
Hello,
I am looking for shorts for road biking that aren't like tights, but yet aren't super baggy like MTB shorts.... Can anyone recommend any? Ed |

I don't think less "bagginess" results in greater comfort until you get to the "tights" style. The relative discomfort of baggy-style shorts compared to lycra is due to extra material rubbing against itself and you, causing friction. It doesn't matter if there's a lot or just a little extra material, the effect is the same. I found this out once when for some reason I had to wear too-large lycra shorts. For max comfort, you can't beat a tight-style fit. *Many* have tried to prove this wrong. --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReactionBicycles.com |

Wear some stretchy bike shorts, and then wear whatever shorts you like over the top. I do this often so that I can carry the usual complement of stuff that I keep in the pockets of my bib overalls.

Really, it's the most versatile, and a good way to keep using shorts that are too embarassing to use otherwise (holes, thin spots in not-so-strategic places, discoularations, whatever). -- Dane Buson - sigdane@unixbigots.org A gourmet who thinks of calories is like a tart that looks at her watch. -- James Beard |
