Also, make sure that you wash your bike shorts after every ride. Bacteria can grow and thrive otherwise, and that can do all kinds of bad stuff down there!

So, that means you'll need at least two pairs of shorts so you'll always have a clean pair, and if you're like a lot of us addicted gals here (and you will be, someday, just wait!), you may eventually end up with five or ten pairs!

Emily, who has at least 8 pairs of road shorts, a couple pairs of baggie mtb shorts, two skorts w/built-in shorts, and two pairs of cycling tights....
