I absolutely will not appear in spandex bike shorts alone. I posted this somewhere else and people said I would get used to it, and tried to educate me on how spandex actually makes you look and feel good, but I just had to laugh at that. I've been dancing since I was 8 and teaching (since I was 12) ballet, tap and jazz. At 52 I still teach one class a week. I've been wearing spandex, leotards, legwarmers and such for 44 years and I STILL will not go out in public without a coverup. Dancing OR biking, so I don't anticipate that I will ever appear in public in bike shorts. That's why I like the Terry skorts and wraps, and I have several pairs of mountain biking shorts. Maybe it all goes back to my dance teacher's firm rule that no one left the studio in just a leotard. Maybe it's just a personal hangup, but it isn't going to change. Of course, I don't mind what others wear at all, and I don't think people look particularly bad in them, but I think the skorts and wraps look terrific on everyone.

Everyone is different, but it's good that there are plenty of options out there.
