are they comfy? if so, who cares what others say or how they look. i would think by 60 you would realize you can pretty much wear whatever you feel like. i think roadies with all the kit look ridiculous. i ride in baggy stuff on my road bike. some are super baggy so you can wear armor under them. they shouldn't look like clown pants though.

Endura make great knickers, as does chrome and zoic. post a picture of yours, or at least tell us what brand you have.
