But I also just started and I'm only doing 8-9 miles rides so far.
When I first started riding last year I felt uncomfortable in public in bike shorts. Now after dropping 140lbs, I'm comfortable going for rides in just bib shorts and tight rash guards. Also, when I go to group rides, I feel comfortable now wearing this to the registration table, into a bike store, because pretty much everyone else is dressed the same. Even bought me a loud bike jersey at the last group ride to use at the next one
