So I've been lurking for awhile and decided that this was a good post to speak up on. My boyfriend is a long time biker and I got started going with him, VERY recently started biking and it sounds like I am in the same size category. After a ride or two when my girly parts and rear were sore, my boyfriend suggest padded shorts, and my reaction was of course LYCRA?!?!?

After some online browsing, I ended up going with the terry skort and so far so good. The only thing I've noticed is there seems to be a little size difference between the skirt part and the short part (i.e. the skirt seems to run smaller than the shorts). The shorts fit fine, could maybe be a little smaller (can't believe I said that), but the skirt part barely fits.

What has actually amazed me is that even with the skort (it's not that long), I was a little self-concious at first, but being out riding and getting the natural adrenalin (sp?) high from it has really helped me get over the self-conciousness. I say go out ride, the way I feel after far tops the concern about appearance.

Smiles,
Angela
