I'm wearing my Louis Garneau Lycras with the hole in the arse (due to an endo on a gravel road during a MTB race in the summer) under my winter riding pants. The question is, what do I do with them in the spring? Is there any kind of repair that can be done with Lycra??

One option is one of those black, long legged undershorts that sell for $15-20. Worn under the
short, the hole won't show. I have stitched up some holes, but if it is where skin hits saddle
repair may cause some skin irritation from pressure, but probably not. Lycra is hand sewable.
