The only issue I have with lycra be that shorts or leggings is that they leave nothing to the imagination and have more or less everything on show… So I have to wear loser fitting shorts over my lycra gear.
1:08 you’ve got to give some quality leather saddles a try, manon! at least long enough to break them in 😂
Cycling shorts are great and all, but one thing that drives me fucking crazy is that size charts are always shifted from reality, the shorts always end up too small on my body even though the size chart says it should fit perfectly.
Thanks, Manon for another lovely video. I’ve been riding bicycles all my life, but I don’t consider myself a cyclist. Perhaps for that reason I cannot understand why they don’t just add a bit more padding in the seats and eliminate it in the shorts. Wearing cycling shorts also makes me feel as if I lost control of my bowels which makes me feel so uncomfortable and therefore not wearing underwear is anathema to me. Maybe one of these days I’ll evolve.
Investing in some high quality bib shorts is a must! As others have. Being comfortable is essential to enjoying a ride.
I see manon, i click. damn
I’ve gotten away with wearing cheapos for 1-2hr rides. Anything beyond that I’ll usually jump in my mid-tier kit. It really depends on how you’re riding and how well your saddle fits you!
Just Wear a Tri Suit , very comfy <
Oh i did not wear those on my first time and i suffered biking 130km away and ending going home on a bus
Except that, you have to strip to go to the bathroom.
one of my favorite cycling YouTube channels and also listed in Wired’s, “13 YouTube Channels We Geek Out Over in Quarantine”; keep up the good work producing good content!
When the music and video resolution changed at 4:25, I thought it was a commercial and I started looking for the “skip” button. (Sorry Dan.😂)
Manon ❤️🥰
Still solving the wrong problem…
I wish GCN would address such issues as sustainable manufacturing as well as recycling of cycling clothing. Are any manufacturers more climate-conscious? Ethical labour practices would also be a good topic. Do any manufacturers assure us that their workers are treated fairly?
Yes they are worth it. Keeps everything in place also.
Cycling shorts, yes. Bib shorts, no. I was watching to see if there is anything reason I should get bib shorts over regular Cycling shorts but being a female and not having the issues with my regular Cycling shorts that were mentioned, the ease of being able to make a nature break trump anything bib shorts could bring me.
I’ve been Road cycling my entire life and the truth is if you’re doing 3 hours or less a day you don’t need bib shorts or any kind of padding. When you have the correct saddle at the correct angle and height you can go back to the good old days in the 1970s and 80s and throw on a pair of khakis or blue jeans and go for a ride in perfect comfort. Now this only goes for healthy men because that’s what I am and my experience outside of that is zero. I ride an average of 2 to 3 hours a day 7 days a week and have absolutely no chafing or discomfort. Most of the information you hear from gcn and other sales Associated companies about riding gear it’s just a sales pitch. You’ll read a lot of comments on here about how bib shorts and padding of other kinds made cycling so much more comfortable but these are people who never bought the correct saddle and never properly fit their bike and or they didn’t ride for long enough to build up a good tolerance so that they would be comfortable every time they get on their bike. Use common sense and ask yourself how people Road on bicycles for hundreds of miles for many many many many years without padding and had no real problems unless they were uneducated about Saddles and bike setup. If I’m going to ride the Giro d’Italia of course I would probably enjoy some padding now that the option is available but for everyday use it’s ridiculous as is Lycra and all the other ridiculous things bicycle companies want to sell you. These companies make way more money on the “stuff you need” than they do on bicycles. Good luck consumers
hey! I do think Dan was a very respectable pro cyclist, don’t put him down like that haha
Maybe a silly question, but why not just make saddles more comfortable? Then we wouldn’t need padded shorts. What am I missing? (I started cycling recently and already bought some bib shorts because it started to be really uncomfortable without them.)
