Hi everyone
I am a clydesdale rider who is back cycling and this time with a vow to make it work. Started cycling last year but gave-up quickly due to perennial discomfort even on short rides. I just started investing/experimenting with saddles to find my fit and not give-up.
Another note, I have been reading on forums is to pick a pair of padded shorts. Although I have chaffing issues and since most my rides are going to short (5-20mi) in next few months... should I still consider investing in a pair of cycling shorts? My biggest factor for dropping biking last season was physical discomfort in groin area and I'd hate to go through that experience again.
Do the padded cycling shorts help for clydesdales riders on short rides? Or should I wait out until I start doing longer/consistent riding??
Cheers
