Old Shorts?
I have worn out a pair of shorts, I was wondering before I throw them out if anyone has found a use for them after they are no longer suitable for wear? I know this sounds kind of silly but I just thought I would check, thanks!

A bit too personal for Goodwill. Kinda like underwear.
I've been in the sport for a long time. Haven't seen anything clever enough to mention.
In fact, haven't seen ANY adaptive re-use for shorts.
Maybe sew the legs shut and make a laundry bag out of them?
In a related note, I've seen riders wear their shorts far past the expiration date.

On another note I was in a Performance store last weekend and heard the sales lady behind the counter tell a customer that he could return the shorts after wearing them as long as they were washed. Up to even a month down the line....

Use them as underware. Just wear a pair of gym shorts over them.
