Is there an amount of miles that constitutes the necessity of them? Anyone else a recreational rider that does? Any suggestions on brands?
Thanks!!
Start with liners, briefs as mentioned above. They may dri-fit shorts work great, and they far less expensive than quality cycling shorts or bibs. If they get hot, move to cycling shorts.
