tuck baggy short end under bike short's legs
just remembered a brain storm I had this past weekend. as usual, I wore my favorite trishorts with thin liner under my MTB shorts. the baggy short legs are just long enough that I can feel them rub my thigh a little above my knee. as usual, I folded the ends back so they were even with my bike shorts underneath. but the fold isn't perfect and looks a little silly when the bike short leg is exposed underneath. toward the end of my ride as I was adjusting the fit, it dawned on me that instead of folding the baggy shorts back in that one spot, I could fold them down and under the bike short leg. it was comfortable & didn't look funny. the bike short underneath stayed out of view. hope that was clear I don't have a photo. I imagine it would work with most any baggy short/bike short combination

Why put baggies on over bike shorts in the first place? Personally I don't like the bulk, flapping and chafing and prefer lycra shorts over baggies on the mtb.

Come on now. Putting lycra shorts over your baggies is even more ridiculous! Why not just wear one or the other?

Nah... just get comfy riding nothing but a jock strap... only the jiggly and tender bits are protected. I'm sure the looks will catch on & be all the rage with the weight weenies in a few years! Just imagine the tens of grams you could save by riding in the buff!

recumbent friendly baggy shorts added a way to draw the bottom of the legs in, to keep bugs out of your shorts
