This is why I ride with my husband. Hopefully he will tell me. I would say she is a good friend for telling you. I have a pair of bibs I love that got a tear so I wear them under tights or a wrap for commuting.

My husband wouldn't tell me, he'd just draft me and enjoy the view.

I have a riding buddy whose wife gave him new Livestrong kit for Christmas. It's not even the end of March and he doesn't ride THAT many miles. I don't know how to break it to him....Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler

I say mine would but the man rarely notices if I put on makeup so would he notice?
He did notice I lost weight before I told him so I guess he has his moments but mostly he is in his world.

What a story.
That reminds me of my experience, thought it's not about cycling short. It's my friend's pants that was suddenly tore apart
when we walked around in the garden of Versailles (France). We (a bunch of five girls) had to lend HIM a shirt to wear over the waist to cover it up. He was actually quite thin, but sometimes things just happen. (glad that it's not me 
)

Last summer my friend was wearing a new, very expensive Assos matching pair of shorts and tank top. They had been a birthday present from her husband, the previous winter.
Usually, I am leading when we ride, but a very bad thunderstorm was threatening, so she got her butt in gear and started to pull. I was in shock when I realized that I could see through the entire top part of her shorts, skin and crack area. I knew they were brand new, but they were made of that material that is sort of vented for cooling air flow. I have one pair of Shebeest shorts that have the same thing, but in a smaller area, just above the crack area.
I had to tell her. I don't think you could see this if you looked at it yourself, off of your body. Most disturbing!
