I admit to not wanting to be caught dead in bike spandex earlier this year and opted for a skort as my first cycling bottoms. I have however come to love my shorts (PI breakaway shorts are my favorite so far)...and the varying tan lines that ensued

I know it's more about how we feel in the shorts, but honestly I don't think people look bad in bike shorts no matter what size they are. I think it's more important that you're on the bike and enjoying yourself while doing something good for your body. and ok ok...I guess this is biased since I spend more time oggling other peoples [B]bikes[B] instead of their shorts! I definitely get bike envy more than shorts envy....
