Always important to pamaper yourself a little and a birthday is a great excuse.
Sounds like you had a good one.
like you, I was unsure about lycra shorts in public... but I have ditched other shorts over the top... your time will come...bwahahaha...
Its like some weird B-grade movie synopsis really...
She used to wear lycra when she was younger, and then abandoned it... for years ignoring it, spurning it... but lycra was patient, lycra could wait, and lycras turn did come again... Opening in cinemas near you...
"Return of the Lycra"
Seriously, wear what is comfortable for you... like you I found 2 pairs of shorts could get hot, and i also kept getting my "normal" shorts legs hooked on the seat!
Whatever, glad you splurged on yourself and bought some really cool stuff!

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

Happy Birthday, and way to go!
I was SOOO embarrassed the first time I wore lycra in public. Then I got on my bike and had so much fun and felt so good, I totally forgot about it. Then I looked around and saw lots of other cyclists wearing it...and hey. It's all about the function. A lot of people just won't ever get it (including a lot of my family members who light-heartedly tease me about the clothing). We get it, though! Everything serves a purpose!

Speaking of cracks (heh heh heh), I agree with Lisa about the slimming effects of Lycra. Although I certainly do not think I actually look good in it, I'm not so self conscious anymore. No chance of any "crack" issues with all that padding back there. My thighs look a heck of a lot better in lycra than they do in, let's say, a bathing suit. And my hips, butt, and tummy all seem a lot smoother too. Now if I could just find shorts that aren't quite so tight at the hem...gotta love how that fat layer gets pinched in and then pooched back out right at the hem of the shorts!
