buying shorts
I am looking at buying some bike shorts, and was looking for some suggestion. I went and tried on a few pairs today, but nothing really jumped out at me. I am looking at trail shorts or something baggy, I am in no shape to wear spandex. Any suggestions would be great.

Try www.nashbar.com or www.performancebike.com and look for mountain bike shorts.
Unless you are 5' and weigh 350# you can wear lycra/spandex.

The mountain bike baggie shorts are a spandex liner with chamey(sp?) with a baggie short on the outside. Fox makes some nice ones. The down side is that you can hook them on the nose of the saddle once in a while.
PS - Your not planning on using these on the road are you????
