My bike does ride pretty upright, nothing like the mountain bike I had years ago.
Butt calluses haha oh its going to be tough year! Thank you!
If you have not discovered
terrybicycle.com I would check it out. They carry (YEAH) Plus size jerseys and shorts. The new catalog just came out (Yeah again).
Shorts: Must always be clean. I ride 2 - 3 times a week in the winter and almost every day in the summer. I have probably 12 pairs, not counting the MTB shorts I have. Buy them as you can afford them (and they are on sale) and then if you treat them right, they will last a long time. OK to wash in a machine but cold water and then VERY IMPORTANT hang dry - no dryer. Same goes for jerseys and gloves.
As to jerseys: Since I really am mountain biking more, I started wearing "fit" tops more - in other wards, not necesary cycling jersey. I buy from cheap places like target, REI and JC Penny has a great line of tops that feel awesome, wick moisture and feel good - I think I paid $15/piece - $12 if you can wear an XXL vs. a 1X. Since I always wear a Camelbak, I don't need the pockets in back.
