Does anyone know?
This may sound like a stupid question, but why don't they make bike shorts in any other color then black? I have rarely seen any solid color other then black. Does the black serve a purpose?

I have seen Navy blue as well from Performance and Nashbar. What is wrong with black?

Shorts are available in other colors today, you just have to look harder for them. Rretailers like black bacause they can be carried over from year to year and they don't get stuck with a bunch of violet colored things that will never sell. Riders like balck because they go with anything else.

www.velowear.com has many colors of shorts. Mine are black because I don't have to think about which shorts go with shich jersey. Black goes with all five of them.
