the color white

After I got tired of fulminating about how much of her derreir I could see, I spen another mind numbing period contemplatig who in the world would wear a hot pik thong to the gym, much less under white shortie shorts.

Someone who wants to show off her hot pink thong. And her a$$.

I agree - light colored or white shorts are just wrong. There was a good reason the UCI required black years ago, and you can see it on any rider caught out in the rain.

while their shorts might have been gross, how come you spent so much time looking at them? snork!

Ha ha back- I was condemmed to two hours on the elliptical ( BORING) one hour at cardio stress point and one hour at cardio endurance- a personal challenge from myself and the coach to me just to see if I could do it. There is only so much time I can spend watching the soaps which is all the tvs in the gym seem capable of getting. I also spent about 45 minutes with my eyes closed just groovin to the music but two hours is mind numbingly dull unless you find something to amuse your eyes with and contemplate. At least that'smy story and I'm stickin to it.

It's like looking at a car accident as you drive by

I haven't come across this, but a ton of tennis players wear white shorts and I haven't uh, noticed an issue! Maybe since it's such a norm in the sport of tennis that the fabric and design is made a little better to prevent the see-through issue! I can only hope I can avert my eyes if I come across this while cycling. :P

Marni, this is why I miss riding with you. I cannot wait until I'm up to par again! (and not working)

Tennis players probably have underwear beneath their shorts. Bike shorts are usually just one layer of lycra and are meant to be worn without underwear. If you've ever made the mistake of buying a white swimsuit (guilty! ) then you know that light coloured lycra becomes virtually transparent when wet.

I was behind two guys today, both wearing some team kit with white and blue, with the shorts mostly white. It was raining today............
