My sweet caboose is very happy in the Terry 1x shorts (I'm 5'5". 220some-lbs.) I felt self-conscious at first, but I can't imagine having extra material flapping around. Even if I don't exactly look sleek, I FEEL sleekThe shorts are pricey & my budget is tight - I've been able to find a couple nice synthetic v-neck T-shirts to use as jerseys. They weren't designed to be jerseys, but I love them to death & they were only 9 bucks each in the plus size dept. of Marshalls. So I guess there are innumerable solutions to our wardrobe problems if we get creative!!

I, uh, like the longer shorts
It prevents the "sausage thing" from happening. Had to give away a new pair of Trashy Cat shorts because they fit small and shorter than I like.
I like being able to wear loud and outrageous clothes! I don't understand why someone would buy drab bike clothes anyway. It seems too dangerous.

Yes! In off-the-bike life, about 90% of my clothes are black, but on the bike, the need for visibility is just an excuse for indulging a secret taste for the most outrageous colors out there.

Ya - isn't it empowering to NOT care what you look like - even for just a LITTLE while? Originally Posted by greenchick
