Sausage legs!!!

I've been wearing cycling shorts so long that the look doesn't even bother me, but there are skorts (which I tend not to like just because the inner shorts are very short), and light overskirts, too.

Funny you mention the short under shorts...I'm actually fine with the shorts being short. I just hate the squeezing that goes on.

That's why I don't like them though, when they're that short, the grippers have to be super tight, so my legs/the shorts grippers rub against the saddle nose, and often the shorts liner rides up in spite of that.

I find the Terry liner is OK for rides < 20 miles. I also bought a Sugoi liner about 6 years ago (on TE, of course) that fits me really well and I tend to wear that under any skorts or baggies, which I wear when doing errands, casual stuff. I did ride 50 miles on the Cape Cod Rail Trail in a skort, a couple of years ago. Not fast, but still, it was 50 miles.

I'm looking for 100+ miles shorts. I think I'm just going to have to try and try and try again.

I highly recommend the Terry Bellas. I have done 60-70 miles in them, no sausage effect. I also love Sugoi RS shorts. They are a little shorter and not quite as compressive, though.
My previous response was in regard to the post about skirts, over skirts, etc.

+1 on the Terry Bellas. Comfy for long rides, wider legs, and grippers to keep the legs down.

Crankin, you and I seem to like similar bike clothing. I'm glad to know that you love the Sugoi RS shorts. I've been gun-shy about trying them because I have disliked all of the other super popular shorts endorsed on TE. I think that I''m going to pull the trigger on a pair of Sugois when the weather warms up.

I used to love the RS short circa 2006-2008, but later model years weren't as comfortable, and the fit changed a bit. Admittedly, I haven't tried the most recent model (they changed the waist band). I switched to their Evolution short last year. The price point was better and I find them to be about as comfortable as the older RS.
