Wool Bike Shorts

[Micki Rider]

Hey, HI, and you're absolutely correct about Bellevue, Eden! The other place I ride is in Chelan, WA and it bakes there in the Summer from morning until night. I'd ride with a parsol if I could.

I love wool socks so much I thought there must be something good about wool bike shorts that'd keep me cool like the socks do. Maybe I'll look for a lighter color bike short - blue, red, whatever - anything other than heat-seeking black.

yeah, that makes sense. beige bike shorts?
the fact is we get grease on them.

I ride in the hot humid south fl, and I find that the color of your shorts don't matter.
I have light blue ones and the traditional black ones, I don't feel any difference!
And I actually prefer the black ones, because with the light color- when you sweat it makes you look like you pee'd your pants! hehe

I'll be over that way for the Wentatchee stage race next weekend - I'm looking forward to a bit of sun and warmth, better remember to pack my sunscreen.

I have wool Ibex knickers, too. I haven't been too hot in them yet, but I stay on this side of the mountains...
