Cycling Shorts

Cycling shorts are among the most popular bicycle accessories. They are sold in nearly every reputable bike shop in most parts of the world and are worn by millions of cyclists every day. And while not “necessary” for riding a bike, they can make the experience much more enjoyable.

Cycling shorts are most often made from stretchable materials such as Spandex or Lycra. This type of material creates a slight compression against the muscles of the leg, and helps to stabilize and support these muscles. Both men’s and women’s shorts are made from these same materials.

Cycling shorts are different for men and women in the way they are padded. They are also cut differently, with each of these aspects being designed for the differences between a man and woman’s body. Most people recommend trying on several different styles until you find the one that suits you best.
