Horsfall, I'd get along to Decathlon at Lakeside if I were you; they carry a range of cycling shorts and are always good value for money.
I took my trike on a recent holiday in the Ardennes and was chuffed to bits with my top speed of 44.9 mph. It was achieved on a 'Descente Dangereuse' that was so bumpy that I was being bounced into the air. I wanted to get up to the big 50, but I had to slow for a rather tricky bend half way down. I left the campsite and pedalled uphill for 30 minutes without a break to get to the summit, and the descent was over in what seemed like seconds - but it was worth it for the thrill.

Got home in no time at all (it's about 5.5 miles the cycle track route) I had jelly legs though and could hardly stand afterwards. It made my legs go all funny and took a while for my leg muscles to adapt to cycling.
