Well it's been a week or so & I have to say that I'm hooked on wearing cycling shorts. I now own 5 pairs and may even look into getting a pair of bibs soon. One thing that I've also noticed is I seem to find the "sweet spot" on my seat now. Before I was moving my arse all over the place trying to settle into the right spot, now I just kinda slide right into place. I am amazed that my sore ass & groin area are no longer sore & my basic overall comfort has been improved so much by wearing my shorts. I've been on the bike more & more at greater distances now because riding is that much more pleasurable for me.
