Hi,

I'm new to this site, so, hi. Need some input, here. Although I've been riding since grade school, I've never taken cycling as a serious form of exercise until, well, I put on some mid-life weight. Bought a new road bike and love it. I'm in the process of purchasing some bike apparel, but, Jeeze, do all the padded shorts and tights need to feel like you're wearing a giant Kotex? And the rear view, sheesh! I look like I'm wearing a diaper. I bought the Shebeest Strip Cycle Tight and the Elite Distance Short. Other than feeling like I'm concealing a stuffed animal between my legs when I walk, they fit great. Will this make me bowlegged? Just kidding.
