First Pair Biking Shorts!

[bikerchic]

Yay for you hawk!

I remember my first biking shorts, I remember feeling like I was wearing a diaper but once I wore them on a long ride I loved them and could have cared less how they felt or how I looked in them they were so comfy!

I do think my first pair were from TE, way back in the olden days.....ya know I even got a personal thank you note from TE I think I still have it. They were just starting out, I wonder if they still do that? Heck I still have those shorts, wonder if they fit? Ugg!

Anyway I really remember the first time.......special it was thanks for sharing yours with us.

losing 55 lbs is no small feat!!!! Congratulations!

Yay on your new shorts! I have never found biking shorts comfy (hate the waistband), but apparently nowadays, they are more high-tech and comfy. Mine are all quite old and I haven't bothered buying new ones. I bought them b/c I used to do spinning classes religiously. I've never had to wear them on my bike b/c I used to only have very comfy commuter bikes. But now that I have a road bike, I will also have to start wearing biking shorts methinks!

Those shorts of yours sound like a great deal - let us know how you like them after a few rides!

Way to go girl!!!

Those shorts are great. The first time I wore a pair, it felt like Iwas wearing a diaper, but you'll feel great in them as you ride. Make sure you go comando, don't wear underwear, been there;done that, won't do it again!!!

I love Cannondale shorts, very comfy and durable. My most expensive pair of Cannondales was only $59.

Don't fear commando, nothing worse than chafing from panty seams. Some people do wear undies but not me, you get over it REAL quick.

Congrats on the 55lbs and the new biking shorts. You have invested in yourself and the rewards are going to pay off!

Thanks everyone - your encouragement means alot! I will let you know how the shorts feel after some rides. I wore them around the house a bit last night just to get used to the feel. They are quite comfortable although the chamois does take some getting used to. My DH said I could wear them all the time - he would’t mind! I guess he is getting tired of seeing me in my old worn out tshirts and jeans that are now quite baggy!
