I just had to chime in on this thread, because I had a horrifying moment this morning that I wanted to share with you all.

Before I got into cycling, I was into motorcycling...big time. I still have my Harley Softail...and today, instead of going on my usual long Sunday bike ride...I instead, took out my Harley and went on a lovely fall colors ride up into Wisconsin. It was chilly this morning, so I had to dig out my leather chaps. When I went to put them on, I just about cried when I could NOT zipper them down my thighs!!! Apparently, a downside to cycling is that it made my thighs even bigger than they already were...oh joy! I did manage to wrangle them on, eventually...but not without pinching myself with the zipper a few times, first.
