WOW!!!
The girls in our bike club have noticed this too when the guys wear the different color shorts. It does make a difference on how we look at them.I do like Red!
I'll definitely need to pass this on to them.

I must say I really don't like the red bike shorts. I agree that it's hard not to look - it acts like an eye magnet! - but to me it's just "too much information". Like a woman with very, very, very low waist jeans and no panties, not even a string. (or a man, for that matter... but i've never seen a man in that situation!)
I especially dislike when it's a guy on the podium wearing them!!!
I have warned my riding partners over and over every time they talked about buying new shorts... Usually, knowing that, they opt for the black. Grey is very nice too...

Hysterical. Ive seen this picture before and I love it. I have a pair of red shorts and I only wear them on the trainer.

Oy vey !
Same phenomena with Phonak green. There was an unfortunate photo of Tyler Hamilton last year in which his family jewels were outlined very clearly - the general consensus on the message boards was "tuck it in, Tyler"
