Tour Fever: My Favorite Knickers

Chamois bike shorts are terribly unattractive. No matter how you try to wear them – under other pants, on their own, under jeans – they always manage to make you appear to be wearing adult diapers. But riding for miles without them is a literal pain in the butt.

This pair of knickers from Sports Basement (SF locals – you have to check out their new giant store on Bryant) is about as cute as you can get with bike gear. They’re like your favorite pair of yoga pants…with a diaper built in 🙂
