Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

2 Boure bibs and 1 PI shorts. All good, but going to move to a flat-seamed short next season, I am tired of the damn line imprints in my legs and am not so heavy that I mind a waistband.

I rotate 3 pairs (all Voler) and have one pair of shorts I wear on short distance days (commute only). I just ordered pair of Bib Knickers (also Voler) on sale to try out next fall.

So 3 or 4, depending on if I count the ones on the UPS truck.

I ride 6 days a week and have to wash frequently, so will probably add at least one more soon.

Wow... I know bikes are supposed to be X+1 (and ironically I do have one on layaway), but now my shorts are X+1 also? I need help.

One pair of 10/2 bibs that I just got this spring, I'm having a difficult time wearing any of my multiple other shorts.

Must.Get.More.Bibs.

How can you ride with just one pair of shorts? Wash them every night? Seems wasteful.

I have six pairs that I rotate through and with 2-a-days occasionally I usually have to wash twice a week.

1 pair of Optima Descente...very nice

5 pair of Nike, old Disco team issue

4 pair of Cannondale Health Net team issue

2 pair of Barloworld team issue Cannondale

4 of various sorts...I think 2 are Santini...one is an old pair of Mapei team issue. The other 2 are Cannondale Carbon cloth shorts.
