I'm finding that upper leg fit is a far less annoying issue for me than blowing out the crotch of pretty much all my jeans all the time. The lady calls me "thunder thighs". Ugh.

Sounds like you know what is up. We're a bunch of amateur hacks and that's totally fine. Keep it that way. There's nothing worse than someone who takes amateur cycling too seriously.
