Ha, Ha! I can relate to those "short" trips without bike shorts. I've done a few shorty rides on my vintage mixte's lately and between the older not so comfortable seats and no bike shorts . . . ouch!

. . . and now that it's road construction season, a big chuck of my going and coming commute route is going to be torn up and repaved. Sigh, I just can't win this summer! bikerHen
