I'm pretty new to this and have not owned a pair of lycra shorts. I'm resisting the idea a bit still (I think they look a little silly) but travelling feet first makes my regular shorts baloon out as they fill with air, it's uncomfortable and can't be doing much good for my drag coefficient, I also found on a longer run the costant rubbing on my knees of the hem of the legs became quite irritating.
So I've a few questions
So what type of shorts are good and where do you buy them from (not sure about size so thinking of shops rather than online)? I've been into halfords and they had only one type with a whole load of padded foam stuff in the gusset which seems unnecissary for recumbent riding.
Do you wear underwear benieth 'em?
Is there a cross-over available which works like lycra but has the appearance of normal shorts (am thinking perhaps has lycra bands around the leg holes or something)
