I hate to burst your fashion bubble, but the people where we buy our mid-ride Power-Aid (or whatever) aren't to trilled about black lycra either..... just check out the cycling thread on pickupdriverforum.net and see what I mean.
Life is short Mario, I say revel in your red bulge shorts, clown shoes, and sun goggles if it makes you happy.

HPS's point is well taken. In areas unused to bike shorts, any kind of bike short is considered freaky. All my shorts are black except a dark blue. Lite blue can be gross with its' ability to reveal- but darker blue shorts ; I see no difference. Now wearing white shorts- maybe reason to be arrested.

I have navy blue shorts no problemo.
I have Red shorts, no problemo, why? because Etxe Ondo shorts have
a padded, absorbant front so I don't end up looking like that pic
of that team. . .
that said, I don't wear them too much, mostly for training rides where
I'm on my own. They also work really well under tights during the winter.

Black................or dark blues. Never whites, reds, greens, or if you want..............get the dual colored shorts with the crotch area being in black! That would be fine for the public to see.

I should just settle for these. The black is 'appropiate', and the blue stiches add a bit of zing.
A bit out of my price range, sadly.

....PS if you haven't tried them already, I'd get some bibs rather than shorts.
