Hi there. I'm having a bit of a problem. I am enjoying cycling very much, but I cannot ride for too long because of the pain. My mother wears cycling shorts with a lot of padding and I went around locally trying them on this past weekend. It didn't go well. I found them to be rather uncomfortable and am worried about being able to walk around afterwards. My husband and I like to bike for excercise or fun and we often head to trails, both paved and unpaved. We don't usually go straight home afterwards and I can't imagine walking in somewhere feeling and looking like a duck! I also don't like how tight the lycra shorts are around my waist. Can anyone recommend something to help with comfort? I was looking at the Garneau Ventura Mountain Biking shorts and I like the look but cannot find any reviews. Any suggestions would be much appreciated, and please excuse my vanity! Thank you!
