See through shorts, help!

I think I almost bought that pair of Cannondales, but I tried them on with underwear and bent over in front of the mirror and realized I could see the stripes on the undies.

That is the greatest tip! From now on, I'm wearing my loudest, brightest underbritches when I go shorts shopping!

Me too! And I think I'm going to go put on said loud pair and check all MY shorts in the mirror!

Lesson learned! Wear bright undies while shorts shopping!!

I think I will write to Cannondale, since it seems hardly fair that I can't return them, and maybe let the LBS know...

I hate to think how many people I was flashing since I HAVE worn these in public on hot and sunny days!!! I'll be known as the biker who has NOTHING to hide! LOL

I would also like to mention that white and lighter colored shorts are particularly bad for people with a somewhat darker (Mediterranean or darker) complexion on a bright sunny day for the same reason. The last charity ride I was on had several well endowed larger women with that problem.

Love the tip of the underpants and off to check out all of mine. thanks for that tip.

Itsalldownhill- fortunately 99.9% of the people you were flashing had no idea who you are, unless, of course you were on a group ride or with friends. As for the car drivers, I wonder if you were followed by a chin of fender benders due to "distracted driving/"
