    Anyone have these & what do you think of them??

    I'm ordering the Diadora cycling shoe & figured I might as well order a pair of shorts as well.

    Mind you, my biggest fear of cycling is my fat legs in spandex shorts...

    I haven't tried these out.

    But I will say this... I look at a skinny girl NOT in cycling shorts as a werido.. and someone who isn't perfectly skinny in cyclinst shorts, as a cyclist.

    Spandex... we all hate it... but when you are in a group of people wearing it... you look like a dork when you don't wear it.

    Finally, I also think that if someone doesn't like how I look in it...then they don't need to look. And if they keep looking, then whatever... at least I am on a bike working my tail off.

    Thank you for the pep talk

    I know I need to buy them in order to do longer rides (doing 10 miles in regular shorts on my Serfas Rx), it's just actually purchasing them that seems to fill me with fear. I figure I order them online, it's not like I'm really buying them, I can just feel surprised when they show up with my shoes

    Maybe I am weird but I hate PI shorts. They sit like diapers and stretch all the way to my shoulder blades in the back. I have a pair of PI shorts in small and they fell like I am wearing XL.
