This is really a shallow question. I'm going on a supported bike trip in Europe. Relatively long days of riding (for me), but sometimes casual restaurants and town tours during the day.

I do wear bike shorts (took me awhile many years ago to go from ordinary shorts to bike shorts) but as I am short and have wide hips, I do not look my best in them.

I don't recall seeing other women on these trips in skorts even though they are not necesarily such strong riders.

So---do they label you as a less serious cyclist? This is an image question, you see.

Best,
Deb
