White Cycling shorts

Bike Chick, that's hilarious!!

There was another thread about shorts and transparency, I can't remember exactly but there was a good tip about checking transparency on worn shorts. Wear undies with some kind of print, put on your shorts and check the mirror. Bend like you are on the bike and if you can see the print, chances are without the undies, you'll see other things.

I may not've been the first to say it, but that's definitely how I check bike shorts! They had a bunch of Cannondale shorts at TJ Maxx once and my striped underwear was visible through ALL of them.


More on-topic, I was running behind a guy mountain biking in shorts that had white kind of around the top of the back...like a wide stripe-ish. Definitely saw some crack. I couldn't quite go fast enough to pass him, either...
