How tight are the legs of your cycling shorts? Especially the elastic band at the bottom of the legs of your cycling shorts?
That is a very interesting question. And I am not sure how to quantify that other than to say that
1) the elastic band does not leave a mark
2) I have (from several years ago when I was 50 pounds heavier) an old pair of cycling shorts that MOST DEFINITELY are not too tight. Cheap experiment.
