Ah, I just meant that throwing my cycling shorts in the wash after each use meant that it was an excuse to buy more.... I started with 2 pair and now I have 5, of shorts for "regular" rides, i.e. my more expensive ones. This was built up over years, with some throwing out of ones that just didn't cut it.
I have a liner short I bought, and one that came with a pair of Shebeest board shorts that I bought really for the shorts, not to ride in. I have one pair of mtb shorts and 2 skorts for casual, errand, coffee shop rides. Once in awhile I wear a skort on a road ride, but it's usually not more than 20 miles.
I sweat a lot. Today I went on a 7.5 mile ride to a farm stand on my Jamis, which means slower speeds. It was 75 and humid, but cloudy and sprinkling. I came back as sweaty as I would be after a 50 mile ride on my road bike.
Like Lisa says, to each her own.
