Yup. And I can't imagine how much I'd be gettin' the baggies caught up on my saddle at the *exact* moment I *really* didn't need to get 'em caught.splat said:

I dunno. I've got a pair of PI shorts that are ~5 years old and the chamois and lycra is still pretty much good as new.Of course, that might be because I don't ride. :mumble:

HAHA! Am I the only one who got this???
on the getting caught part, i have actually had less problems catching my saddle with my baggy shells than straight lycra. seat keeps catching the chamois when i have just shorts on, but the baggies with the high crotch actually allow me to slide back and forth a lot better and nothing gets out of place. not what you would think, but definetly how it works for me
count me in as another fan of nuthuggers, with other non-bike baggies thrown over them. baggy enough to be, uh, baggy, but not binding on the knees, and not so baggy in the ass that they catch on the seat when off the back.
i only have one pair of true "bike baggies" with the pad sewn into the liner; hate 'em. much prefer the lycra under other baggies. the pad doesn't move around then.

Those of us without monstrous guts don't need suspenders to keep our knickers up.LordOpie said:If you don't wear bibs, you deserve to have your shorts pulled down and attached to the back of your saddle

and how are bibs *under* the baggies going to stop the baggies from getting snagged........
? as i said, with the other baggies over tights, it's not an issue at this point. meh. for road, i'll stick with bibs, off road, i like them far less.
'cause i move around on the bike far more when offroad, and have found non-bibs to be more comfy.LordOpie said:why less on dirt? Please elaborate.
I've been on pavement almost exclusively more than a year now. I know, it's sad. If I'm up by Hall Ranch, I'm more likely to ride Lefthand Canyon. I'll just bring both bikes and ride both
that whole personal preference thing again, ya know?
that and i have a bladder the size of that of a small field mouse, and drink tons of water. i have to stop and pee alot. bibs suck for that.
I can't believe no one picked this up yet! Your 6 feet tall?? Wow. See, I'm rather short, so those tiny 6 inch shorts you mention are actually a nice mid thigh short on me! I remember the first time I saw Marla in person, she's about 6 feet tall as well. You much have very large bikes.MudGrrl said:

Why are shorts so damn short? That is the real question. I can't even wear them. I suffer through the 105-degree weather in capris. You would think girls would rather look classy than skeezy...

Don't sugar coat it. The shants are just a variation of the manpris and are really coolats. (sp?)
I rode in some Fox epic shorts today, and even though they are very long (about 2" longer then mid-rangers) they were very comfortable and didn't get in the way.
It's so the FR/DH set can hide their chicken legs better.
WHY? I mean REALLY! WHY? If they're that long, just wear long pants. We use to call pants like that FLOODS!stevew said:Euro's seem secure enough in their manhood to rock the shants/manpris
"The rain's are gone and the lands are dry, so why do you where your pant's so high?" Anyone remember that one?
Just throw some white sox on that guy and a white glove and tell him to grab his crotch and moonwalk!!
Personally I like my Spandex bike shorts. Takes me back to my 80's head banger days.
That's what 90% of the fixed gear dude wear downtown!stevew said:
