I have been wearing lycra for probably 30 years... and this weekend bought my first pair of 'mountain bike shorts'... that because as I was riding the mountain bike this weekend, I went through some briars that basically destroyed the lycra... now I understand why mountain bike shorts are coarser material... every sport has its own uique clothes that is built around FUNCTION. For the road bike, it will always be lycra-- now, for the mountain bike, it will be mountain bike shorts.
