Why Bike Shorts Are Black
I think these images say it all. According to the guy second from the right, it’s about 1 o'clock (if you know what I mean). I can hear the advertisements for red bike shorts now: “No need to wear a watch - just look down to your built-in sundial!”
That's funny!!! I feel their pain though. I have a pair of white bike shorts. I wore them to a rally once and of course it started raining. Can you say "x-rated Lance"?
From the "too much information" department... I have a pair of black tri shorts, which normally would be fine. But have you ever been out for a really long run on a hot day (like fa marathon) and your shorts literally become salty? Let's just say the salt patterns can be a little revealing.
Even worse: going through my pictures in Photoshop and airbrushing certain things. It makes me feel dirty.
I once rode my bike in a duathlon behind a guy wearing a light gray/blue one peice. He had highly reavealing ass crack sweat and it was NOT pretty. I just about killed myself trying to pass him so I didn't have to look at it anymore.
Before you decide to jump on your bicycle and ride off into the sun. You must make sure that you have the appropriate riding gear on. Wearing a bulky or flimsy jacket is not only uncomfortable, but creates wind resistance during your riding.
MY EYES!!! ACK!
