Or for a more "feminine" look, there's skorts or over-skirts.

You would be amazed what smooth black lycra can do for a body.
And Terry sells these

I have a pair of the Shebeest board shorts and I mostly wear them without the liner for everyday stuff. But I have worn them for short errand rides.
I have a Sugoi liner short that I bought on TE. They are just like shorts, except the leg part of the short is lighter weight material. The chamois is high quality. I have worn them under regular long shorts and capris and at the gym when I wanted to do spin and yoga after, so I wore them under my yoga pants. If you want a liner, these are keepers. I bought a pair that were shaped more like underpants and they were like granny pants.

I wear cycling shorts for all of my "real" rides in warm weather, and knickers or tights in cold weather, but when I commute (in warm weather) I'm a big fan of skorts. My favorite is this Shebeest skort:

But I have bike skorts from Pearl Izumi, Skirt Sports, and Sugoi as well.
The skorts allow me to ride comfortably AND feel like a normal person in class or running errands. They're pretty cute actually.
So, I am curious...when you wear a skort, do you sit on the back part of the skirt, or does it hang down behind the seat, and you are sitting on the bike seat with the shorts, like you normally would?
That Shebeest one is really cute.

Starfish,
The answer is, drumroll, I'm not really sure. I don't notice the skirt at all. It never gets caught on my seat, and my saddle (Fizik Arione) has both a very long nose and a pointy rear that could both tend to catch loose clothing. Some skorts blow up a lot in front, so they end up looking more like shorts when one is riding... happily the Shebeest one seems to stay down on me. But like I said
, no idea what's going on in back.
And it comes in REDand would look really HOT with that Fire current tank.
I'm really getting out of control here. Almost as bad a Knot![]()
