Advantages: Will enhance riding confort and performance by untold amounts Disadvantages: Quite expensive at c.£50
...layer fabric of the side panels in the shorts, again providing support where it is most welcome. You won't find yourself getting too wet and bothered out on the trail either, as these shorts have an incredible ability to wick moisture away from the skin, and to repel much of the crud that hits you from the ground. The leg grippers make sure they don't slip around either, and make for greater comfort when you're shifting your weight over the bike.
I know that lycra is not everyone's cup of tea, but if you're well into the sport, then there really are no better shorts out there for keen leisure or competition use. It's even worth shedding a few pounds just to be able to wear some of these, as they look and feel so damn good! On word about the chamois liner though: it is best to remove and clean this as often as you can after long mucky rides...

Advantages: tones the bum&thigh area, fits easily under jeans Disadvantages: small pads repeatedly curl and stick together
...in the same level of effort you do during normal sit-ups or squats etc as the belts, shorts etc work the muscles for you. Therefore it is possible to obtain a beach body without going anywhere near a gym or even leaving your house!
The BT shorts consist of 6 pads in total; 1 large and 1 small located to the rear of each leg/ on your gluteal (bum) muscles, and a smaller pad on the front of each leg to work the thighs. The shorts are made of a stretchy Lycra style material and the sides are fastened with Velcro. Admittedly the pads are slightly fiddly to work with. The book advises you to apply the pads to the shorts prior to putting them on (which makes sense) and remove the protective covering once the shorts are on (again makes sense but requires the patience of a saint!). Applying the pads to the shorts and putting them on was the easy bit...

Advantages: Great quality, good price, excellent! Disadvantages: Difficult to walk in
...Having not ridden a bike for just over 11 years, and, therefore being a 'born again' cyclist I nver realised the pain and agony that I would suffer.
I have never been in to lycra. The skin tight look is very unflattering on me and there is no way that I can pull it off. I always thought that 'proper' cyclist clothing was just for show and served no real purpose. How wrong was I. My first ride out consisted of a 10 mile warm up. I went out in a normal pair of shorts and...............
After the first 2 miles I was getting a numb rear. After 5 miles the chaffing set in, and after 7 miles I was in absolute agony. I could not sit down properly for 3 days and I was walking funny for 2.
After this fiasco I went in to a local shop and decided to get some lycrashorts. I was told by the very helpful assistant that there were 'undershorts...

Nail varnish has the ability to look chic and stunning; it also has the ability of looking cheap, tacky and ugly. The way in which it is applied, the chosen shade and the colour finish determine which quality a woman ends up with on her nails. Garish... more
A Short History of Tractors in Ukrainian doesn't sound like a book that's worth reading, does it? But it's deceptive. It's not written in Ukrainian, it's not a translation from a book written in Ukrainian and it's not really about tractors. The title... more
