It's no secret, I wear bike shorts. Those extra tight spandex shorts with the built in pad, I wear them every time I ride my bike. At first I was ashamed, I even said to the guys at work, "I did something I'm not proud of, but it had to happen ... I bought bike shorts." It took a little while to get used to them and I still generally keep my shirt untucked. I mean my butt looks good, but I don't want to be a distraction to motorists. Yeah, that must be it.
But you know what; I really like them! They're comfortable, the pad really eases saddle sore and they've got these little rubber legs grippers that keep them from riding up on me.
The first debate is this: To wear bike shorts or to not wear bike shorts? A warning, there is very little that will convince me to not wear them.
I have been told that I'm not allowed to shave my legs. There's not a big debate there, I don't want to shave my legs. But combining bike shorts with unshaved legs leads to the second debate.
Should the hair come through the spandex?
Now I have two pairs of bike shorts, my daily shorts and my race shorts. My daily shorts are not the top of the line, so the hair shows through more readily than the race shorts, which are a very high quality.
Recent posts on some other blogs have lead me to believe that such discussion about undergarments is kosher.

Oh my God!!! What have you done?!?! Is this pay-back for the
speedo picture I posted on flickr?
Oh yeah, Nick in a Speedo
Uhh, you wrote about your "dressing issues", no one else did. I actually have that picture marked as a favorite.
So, other then dismay at my linking your posts, any thoughts on the topic at hand?
Not so sure I want to go there ...
