  1. Does anyone have any recommendations? I find that the material is always too tight around my groin,
    and suspect that it is because the towling insert to the front of the chamois does not stretch. Do
    any manufacturers make shorts without a "drip tray"?

    Cheers,

    Barney

    Men's bicycling shorts are stupid. The black lycra shorts for road bicyclists are ugly, hot, and too
    confining. The baggy shorts for off-road with liners are equally stupid. Something that is trim fit
    but stretchy like Sportifs are what is needed.

    Suggest that you acquire some Sportif shorts and sew in a saddle patch, available from
    Performance Bicycles to get shorts that are stretchy, neat looking. comfortable, and do not look
    like an idiot cyclist.

  5. Save yourself time and google: "Brock Baily" balls bike. ; )

  7. Two of the best in racing sports this year are geldings. You should explore that option, if it
    troubles you so much. Or, did you just want to proclaim on the WWW that you've got big ones?

  8. So are women's. They feel like you're wearing a girdle with a sanitary pad! And there isn't much of
    a choice for women who are bigger than a size 12.

  9. Did you measure to know they're big ones?

    And against whom?!?

    Will I drive a Kia. My cell phone is a NOkia. I am so confused.

    Hi LB

    I have a few pairs of Shimano off-road style shorts that are reasonably trim in the fit. I use these
    shorts for both general trundling around and for longer rides.

    They are "trim fit butstretchy". Also, they're quite decent-looking to wear off the bike - they
    don't scare the animals, the children or the old ladies. (It's occasionally a little hard to
    differenciate between the first two groups!!)

    Ice cubes. Put a few in your shorts, and it'll shrink 'em. Then the shorts will fit better.

    James,

    The Shimano shorts you mention sound like some Nikes I bought many years ago but have completely
    worn out. They were a stretch twill with an ultra-suede-like lining in the crotch (no padding). Also
    had side = pockets and one back pocket and a plastic zippered fly. Nashbar had something similar but
    with a terry cloth crotch and side pockets only.

    If anyone knows of a source for these kinds of shorts, I'd appreciate knowing about it. TIA

    Why? I like mine. They have padding, which is also welcome, but allow me to go into a store without
    looking like a total dweeb. I personally can't ride without padded biking shorts -- a hardtail is
    hard enough; I need all the help I can get.
