short shorts problem

depends what kind of shorts you wear....if you wear running shorts or
something, then they're kinda baggy already, and that happens. I wear
khakis when I ride, and it doesn't happen.

I wear canvas shorts and they crawl up a little bit but not so much that
it's embarrassing

I think, to begin with, if the crotch of your pants is pretty low
normally, its gonna hike up pretty high in the seat.

I wear pretty long shorts when i ride; longer than i normally would were
i not riding. When im on the uni, they hike up a little and look like
normal length shorts.

oh and dont forget to wear bike shorts underneath! 🙂

I've found that it also help if you get some of the cargo pants that
have an elastic band in them so that if you stand up while riding they
go to their "normal position." So far I've only seen them at target.

It's because you're wearing shorts iwth a low crotch, or you're wearing
shorts with the right level crtch but wearign them too low on your
waist. Wear shorts that actually fit you and you shouldn't ahve a
problem

I had this same problem!

I tried looking for skate shorts as some of them have a long leg past
the crotch area, but I couldn't find anything, and they were pretty
expensive for what I was getting.

Long story short: The answer is a pair of Alpinestars cargoish pants.
They were $17 online when I was buying my leg armor from the same site
so I added them with the intention of cutting them up when I got them.
They arrived and I took scissors to them and brought the leg up a length
a few inches below the knee. This length lets me sit on the uni and the
leg will putt up to just over my knee. Perfect! They shrunk a little
after a few washes, so keep in mind that you can always cut more off.

Long story shorter: Get a pair of pants and cut off part of the leg.
p.s. jeans are hot, use something else.

Cycle shorts.... note the first word. There is a reason they are called
cycle shorts. They are designed for use when cycleing. I would never
consider any other unless I wore cycle shorts below them.

I have finally found that wearing a pair of cycling shorts or
compression shorts under a cheap pair of nylon sport shorts from a local
major discount department store eliminates ALL chafing. The compression
shorts are very similar to cycling shorts but do not have the padding
and they are MUCH cheaper. All rubbing (especially when you get real
sweaty) takes place between the nylon/spandex under garment and the
nylon outer garment.
