Padded Bottoms - Necessary?

**mariacycle** · 03-25-2011, 02:27 PM

In between my last post and now, a non-TE friend suggested I look at tri shorts instead of regular cycling shorts, I'm definitely gonna give them a try. Went out in just compression shorts today and could see where they would start getting uncomfortable.

I think I am sitting wrong, too...

Cool, thanks! I might have to try a pair of those Zoots. Not that I really need new shorts right at the moment

I thought about the Zoots, but TE staff recommended against it due to my shape. Apparently they don't work well if you have curves...if I remember what they said correctly. I don't know what shape you have but it might be worth the phone call.

Ah, thanks. "Curves" would be a polite way of saying I have a big @ss.

So they probably wouldn't fit me.

I love my CW-X running bottoms, but I just question the idea of compression on the bike.

I don't have a big @*** - all of my weight is in my stomach

So I am "curvy" as well, just in a different way
