Many of us who ride 'bents do wear bike shorts, but not necessarily the traditional style. Bike shorts used to be black wool with chamois leather - I had a pair or two of those. Then came MTB baggies and now there are lotsa styles of shorts that can rightfully be called 'bike shorts'. Plus other styles, like rugby shorts (?), that are used as bike shorts by some, I understand.........
