cycling shorts fit under anything but I prefer thin lined trishorts by Zoot - got them from Amazon. I was sure to get a large enough size so that they were comfortable. I've got a 38-40 waist so use the XL size. also the Zoot has a regular height waistband as opposed to many other trishorts which have low cut waists.

there's a place I stop that gives cyclists in general a dirty look when they come in to purchase drinks or snacks regardless of what they are wearing. I don't know what their problem is though. It's not just me either, it's to anyone wearing cycling clothes.
Guess a lot of it has to do with location/culture of the area! Here in NYC I don't think anybody really cares what anybody is wearing but this is a good reminder to think about how I may affect others outside of this area.
