Riding when sick may not be the smartest thing to do…

Sometimes I just have to get out. It probably wasn’t the smartest thing because my voice totally went and I had a good sore throat for the next two days.

But, I saw the elephants https://twitter.com/oldmanriderr/status/843294956487770113,climbed a mountain https://www.strava.com/activities/903482202, and feel better about everything today.

Ride without Bike Shorts? Here’s why not.

Ride without Bike Shorts? Here’s why not.

People, and a lot of YouTube videos, spend a lot of time comparing one brand of bike shorts with another. They compare a laundry list of features and decide what is best.

But, no one seems to talk about what features are actually important to the rider. Anyone can read a product tag and parrot back marketing talk.

This video looks at the four most talked about bike short features; cut, material, synthetic chamois, and leg grippers and decides that only three are important – because the fourth feature is common to all bike shorts.

Riding without bike shorts – you can if you want. I know why I’ll continue to wear mine…
