That's not how I remember it. In fact I don't think modern shorts contribute diddly-squat more to comfort than the old fashioned ones did.
Please discuss...and, oh yeah, you kids get off my lawn before I turn the hose on ya'.
Since when were grown men riding bicycles in spandex considered "tough".
I definately don't feel like I project the tough guy image as I pedal down the shoulder.
If my insecurity level was such that I felt the need to show how tough I was, I would take up mma fighting.
