I remember 45 years ago when I would ride in tighty whiteys and jean cut offs. When I first got cycling shorts they were called skins and had a leather chamois and when I came out of dressing room the shop guys were all laughing and saying that I looked like Wimmer Sausage. I don't know how I ever got the nerve to wear these, but I wouldn't ride without these, ever.


I don't have an ick factor but I do have so many shorts or bibs that I could wear a different pair each day for 2 weeks.
