Followers, I have a question for you . . .
When my brother and I first began talking about this blog, we were thinking of many creative ways to do things that would peak our readers’ interests. One thing we discussed was conducting challenges between my brother and myself. And one of the first challenges we thought of was if one of us lost a challenge then we would be forced to wear bicycle shorts.
The thought of wearing or seeing my brother wearing bicycle shorts was absolutely hilarious. It was the perfect punishment for failing to complete a challenge. Until I actually rode a bicycle.
I always wondered why bicyclists wore such skin tight clothing. It actually made me quite uncomfortable every time I encountered a bicyclist in their biker shorts. Why couldn’t they wear regular shorts like everyone else?
My brother and I took our first ride together along the Santa Ana River Trail, http://runningbrothers.com/category/zeb-and-rockys-big-adventure/ where we rode for 42 miles or so. At the end of the ride it became apparent why bicyclists wore bike shorts. They wanted to save their asses . . . literally. The following three days after our bike ride my rear end was on fire and no matter how uncool they are, I knew that I was going to have to invest in some spandex shorts.
Which brings me to my question. Do any of you have recommendations on the best type of bike shorts to buy? I am training for an Ironman and need some shorts that will protect my rear end. I could really use your help in deciding what type of bike shorts I get my hands on.
If you need an incentive . . . the faster you help me locate the best bike shorts, the faster I can proceed with my bicycle shorts photo shoot.
