    I wear bike shorts. At first I felt self-concious, but not as much any more. I figure if people have a problem with it, they can look the other way!

    Wrap your butt in spandex and be proud of your V-10 big block motor! Also, laugh at skinny people who have to pedal down hills while you coast past them

    I like that, Andrea.

    But, I wear mountain biking shorts. Mostly because I started mtn biking first and that's what made the most sense. Now I have a liner with a chamois and I wear that under whatever I find comfortable.

    The older ones have my favorite chamois, and the shorts have pockets on the thigh.
    The skirts come in some nifty prints.

    I have two. Had to drop a size after a while...

    I wear either bike shorts or mountain bike shorts... i agree with others, if people dont like the sight of us, they can get over it. at least i'm out exercising, improving my mental health and saving the environment

    i've had some ugly comments, but i figure that says more about the young guys who made them than me.
