They're bad enough as it is! Thank goodness they're long! I think I may throw up in my mouth if I have to ride behind some guy wearing tight-short-shorts!

GLuvsMtb Posted December 2, 2012 Share Why is its not shorts as we all understand shorts?i dont like burning a 3 quater tan. i dont mind a short tan And does anyone make bibs in a shorter leg version?Its a tightpant, not a hotpant. Vernon Koekemoer wears a hotpant, real men wear tightpants. But seriously, almost all of our quads and hamstrings are a different size where our legs have the widest circumvention. Lower down the variances are a bit less. Imagine having to incorporate different waist and leg sizes. The cost would go up exponentially.

Mojoman Posted December 2, 2012 Share Just roll them up a bit (only when riding alone!). I also find them too long, I don't see the point of shorts when they are by your knees (or longer with casual wear shorts, are they long shorts or short longs?!)

rudi-h Posted December 3, 2012 Share I was riding behind some oke with a short cycle pant on the 94.7. As a result I cycled so fast in the mid-section to spare myself the view that I blew after the N14. They don't sell it because a guy in a short tight pant is f@#$%# horrible sight, thats why.
