I've been asked the question for years--why wear cycling shorts? Some say, "I really don't like the 'shiny heiny' look, aka, tight lycra spandex. Well for those people super sensitive about that, you can still get all the benefits of a cycling short, with shall we say, a bit more modesty, with a "double short," but more to come on that later--the reality is that there is a real function and performance benefit to these snug fitting garments.
Let's just get to basics. I've been in the cycling industry for over 20 years, and have spent the majority of that time helping cyclists buy softgoods, namely clothing, shoes, and helmets--so at this point, let's presume that I know what I'm talking about, shall we? Not to mention I've used myself as a test dummy for countless different brands and styles of product over the years.
Why wear cycling shorts? Good question. The simple answer is to have a smooth interface between one's body [pelvis and rear end] and the bicycle saddle. Yes, cycling shorts do have seams, though they are stitched in such a way as to eliminate friction between one's body and one's saddle.
The inside of the short has a chamois (pad) in it--that can vary in design, thickness, and material. Suffice to say that having a garment that fits like a second skin allows the rider to sit comfortably on the saddle without rubbing or chafing of the downstairs sensitive areas--otherwise known as the "soft tissue" area, or the "nether region." The downstairs area need to be free of friction so that saddle sores and other irritations do not occur. These "pads," as they are referred come in a variety of shapes and sizes, think male and female specific, as well as thicker, thinner, welded seams, flat stitched, the list of permutations and synthetic technologies goes on and on. Back in the day, say the mid-80s and earlier, these pads were truly chamois and made of leather--talk about inconsistencies in thickness--I remember it well. That's when one needed to moisturize the chamois after each washing. Oh boy, contemporary technologies have far eclipsed what was; thank goodness.
One of the first questions asked after "why?" is the "U" question--simply stated, when you are in the comfort of your own home, ie when you're not trying on the garments at your local independent bicycle shop--it's all about your birthday suit and the bicycle short--nothing else.
If someone wears an undergarment inside the short, much less a cotton one, then the rider is simply asking for trouble--too much material which will bind and fold and cause irritation to the aforementioned nether regions. Take my word for it--birthday suit and cycling short--that's it!
Cycling shorts are generally speaking made of some sort of synthetic fabric, which will wick moisture away from one's skin and allow it to evaporate from its top most layer, thereby keeping the riding dryer and more comfortable. There are, of course, a variety of different materials used these days in cycling shorts--some more abrasion resistance, some more compressive, some more ventilated.
Look at most any brand, and that clothing vendor will have a range of shorts, with a range of prices, and correspondingly a range of quality and technologies in their shorts. Pearl Izumi, Mavic and Castelli certainly follow suit herein.
Wearing cycling shorts is more comfortable because of the compression--keeps everything down there in one place, the pad--those saddles can be pretty firm, and the materials which wick moisture. Enough said. Now how do should they fit?
These garments should be snug and form fitting. Remember at the local shop you'll want to keep your underwear on for try on purposes. Most people will wear the same waist size in the cycling short as they wear in "street" clothes. The cycling short should be snug around the leg above the knee (some shorts have longer or shorter inseams, mind you.) The shorts should not gap or have extra material gathering at the back of the leg where the buttocks begins. Snug and form fitting should not be misconstrued to mean constricting. As I'll mention in my post on shoe fitment, a glove can be too tight even though it fits like a glove. Above all else the cycling short should fit like a second skin, without being constricting. This does lend itself to a nice segue into the discussion of the waist band--an area on many us fraught with "peril."
No one likes something too tight around their waist--and on the big this is even more important because of the bent over position that most riders adopt (to varying degrees) while reaching the handlebars. With "half" shorts, standard, regular shorts, the waist band is there--and it can become uncomfortable on longer riders, especially when eating and drinking on the bike will come into play. Not to mention the dreaded issue of the rear of the short tending to slide down...we've all seen enough the that visual to know to what I'm referring. We'll leave it at that.
The solution you ask? Bib shorts! What you say, men or women, I'm not wearing overall shorts on the bike--calm down everyone. Alot of women will say no to bibs out of hand because of the known issue with "nature breaks" while on the road--although there are some innovations in a drop flap or detachable suspenders, the reality is that there are some differences in plumbing that make it a bite more inconvenient for women to wear bibs--they are out there--look at the women riding at competitive level--they wear bibs. So do most men--look at the pictures online and you'll clearly see straps going over their shoulders UNDER their jerseys--and that's one key point that needs mentioning.
Yes, men, please listen, you are meant to wear your cycling jersey OVER your bib short straps--I can assure you that no one likes to see a man on a bike bare chested with bib straps. Can we just leave it at that? Here's what I recommend: Get a base layer, tank top or tshirt style, that can be worn in hot or cold temperatures--baselayers is a whole other story--then bib shorts, straps over the baselayer (no chafing on one's chest), and the cycling jersey over that. No problem, no worries. Road or mountain, bibs are the deal. It's as simple as that. But let me explain for those that won't simply take my word for it, or the fact that EVERY high level cyclist wears bibs, not half shorts.
With the bib short, one does not have to worry about the waist band digging into one's gut thereby potentially interfering with one's breathing, drinking, and digestion of food while riding. Have to take a road side pit stop? No worries, just lift up your jersey and pull down the front of the bib--plenty of stretch there to make room for the business doing. No more worrying about exposing the top of one's backside either--they can't ride down while you're riding. And on these in between weather days, there's a little more material covering one's lower back--an area that can be sensitive to cold.
Fitting tip for bibs--the front and back of legs, not to mention the groin area, should all fit like their half short counterpart--the one difference is because of the braces, straps, when one stands tall, the strap may feel tight or pull slightly. Solution: just get into the cycling position someone bent over from the torso, and the tension of the straps will release sufficiently. Done.
One note--if you are a rider, mountain, hybrid, road, or otherwise, and prefer not to wear a standalone cycling short, then there is a wide variety of "double shorts" available--think of a surf short with a cycling pad covertly hidden inside. Modesty and performance in one inconspicuous package. There are a variety of technologies in this style as well, especially when it comes to technical mountain bike gear.
Which brand is the best? Ah, what a loaded question, if I ever heard one. I'm not sure if there's one that is the "best," meaning it fits everyone, has every bell and whistle imaginable, all for a reasonable price--what I can say is that there are a lot of good cycling shorts out there. Which one will fit the best? I have no clue until you try on a variety of them in the correct size--see which fits your body best. Then see what price point makes sense for you. Generally speaking the more you invest in your cycling shorts, the more technology you'll have at your disposal, and you'll have to see what fits your body and price sensitivity best. I do have my favorites at the present time, and I've ridden a variety of bib shorts over the years.
At the Cycle Loft we have a full range of prices and styles from Castelli, Mavic, Pearl Izumi, Specialized, and Bontrager. Come on in and try some shorts on to see the difference they can make in your cycling comfort and enojoyment.

Talking About Coaching
A Conversation with Kurt Begemann, Cycle Loft's In-House Coach: This first appeared in 2008 upon Kurt's arrival to the Cycle Loft. [Check back soon for similar Q&A with Kurt about the benefits of Track Cycling. In 2010, Kurt became the Director of the Northeast Velodrome & Cycling Park in Londonderry, NH. He continues to coach riders, new and experienced, on the etiquette and discipline necessary to become a successful track racer. He will be coaching an introductory intensive course on Track Cycling June 11 & 12. See here for details on this "Try the Track Clinic."]
Kurt Begemann, USA Cycling Level II Coach, and member of Cycle Loft's staff answers Cycle Loft owner, Jeff Palter's questions about coaching. I hope you find it helpful, and that you will contact Kurt at coaching@cycleloft.com for more information about our services. Thanks for reading, Jeff Palter, Owner, The Cycle Loft.
JP: How long have you been a coach?
KB: I started coaching on the side in 1998, and made a full time transition into coaching in 2004. I'm presently a USA Cycling Level I I Coach and will be coaching two upcoming Federation Developmental training camps this summer in Trexlertown, PA at the National Track Training Center. [Kurt has since participated in several USAC U23 Talent ID Camps in the Lehigh Valley, PA area.]
JP: How did you transition from a rider, to industry professional, to fitting and coaching?
KB: Shortly after I had become a full time rider on the Zimbabwe National Team back in 1991, I realized that I wanted to work full time in the cycling industry, no matter what the capacity. Cycling is very much a “lifestyle” sport, and once you have been so immersed in it as a professional rider, it is easy to stay in the game. By the time your racing career is over, you have a vast knowledge base in the sport, and the transition is natural. I started focusing on fitting about ten years ago, when I realized that many of the reasons I had been positioned a certain way on the bike were nothing short of old wives' tales. I was intrigued by finding a system that was based on scientific proof, and helping people get correctly positioned. Roughly at the same time I started working with riders in a coaching capacity, knowing that most people learn from their friends, and friends of friends. Having come from a disciplined national program, I felt that I had a lot of knowledge to impart.
JP: What, if any, connection(s) is there between coaching and bicycle fitting?
KB: There is more of a connection than some people might understand. One example is that pedaling style can often effect bike fit, and vice versa. Bike fitters who are trained in ergonomics, but have little experience on the bike themselves often miss this connection. Often during a bike fit, I will end up segueing into pedaling dynamics, and coaching a rider on a more efficient way to pedal. This will lead into the stability of core muscles, and the recruitment of power. That can move onto balance and bike handling, and the discussion can snowball from there.
JP: I’ve read a lot of about video programs for fitting and the use of lasers and other high tech stuff, and in fact we have many of these tools here at the Loft. Any comments?
KB: Nowadays bike fitting has become quite the science, and there are quite a few systems out there in the marketplace. Twenty years ago there were many old wives' tales about fitting, which had no scientific proof as to why they would be relevant to being efficient or effective on the bike. Around 2001 or so, some of the best bike designers and ergonomists started compiling real scientific reasons as to why we are positioned a certain way. Ben Serotta was instrumental in this, and the info he gained along with others, hasn’t changed much in the last 10 years or so. But people are continually trying to show new ways of conveying that information, with lasers, cameras, power meters etc. Often they can be helpful, but sometimes they can confuse things even more. The important thing to remember is that computers only really tell us what we ask them to, and if you’re working with a trained ergonomist who has a good eye and you believe in their ability, they can get you where you need to be without the tech show. Don’t get me wrong, there is a coolness factor to all the high tech stuff, but none of that is a substitute for an experienced eye.
JP: What would/could a potential client gain from having a coach, especially if not an elite athlete?
KB: In my opinion, you don’t have to be an elite athlete to be open minded and willing to learn. In fact, most elite athletes, or riders who have been in the game a long time are actually impossible to coach. They figure that they’ve been doing it along time, and their way is the only way. But I often ask them, who taught them what they know, and who were their teachers' teachers? A professional coach will help you target a goal, work on your weaknesses, and help you develop your strengths. They will help you obtain a better knowledge base of the sport, and educate you on how it’s different characteristics, like equipment, nutrition, training and strategy all relate to one another.
JP: How many days per week does one need to ride to work well with a coach?
KB: If you want to make gains of any sort, then you have to ride a minimum of 4 days a week. If you want to be competitive, you’ll have to commit to 5 days a week, and if you’re serious about your competitiveness, then you’ll need to go to 6.
JP: I know there are heart rate monitors out there, and now power meters? Does one need one or both? What’s the “real" deal?
KB: This is a complicated one. Both are very helpful training tools, which can also become very destructive crutches. The best riders in the world use Power Meters to train with, but they very seldom (if ever), use them to race with. The same can be said about Heart Rate monitors. Too many athletes end up becoming anchored (literally) to these tools, and not developing their own intuition or feel for their own effort. Great riders such as Merckx, Hinault, Roche and Lemond all rode using the "old fashioned" RPE scale. RPE or Rate of Perceived Exertion is still an extremely accurate way to train, and is in fact the most accurate way to race a time trial or break away effort. I like to work with this first and instill that a rider has to know their body and be able to accurately gauge their own effort first, before taking them on to a Heart Rate monitor and then ultimately a Power Meter. Having all the training tools in the world won’t help one iota, unless you know how to use them. How can you interpret the knowledge from your efforts on your training devices, if you can’t accurately gauge your efforts?
JP: What differentiates your coaching style and services from those of some of the national companies I see marketed?
KB: I actually meet with my riders in person, and ride with them weekly. You wouldn’t take a music lesson over the phone, so why would you be coached by someone over the internet. People often see the successful relationships between star cyclists and successful coaches and forget that these people have met personally many, many times, and have relationships that span months, if not years. Working with someone who hasn’t personally seen you, your position on a bike, your pedaling style, and your execution techniques, and then expecting to improve over a couple of months, is more often than not…a set up for disappointment.
I don’t just prescribe training plans. I teach you how to execute them properly. How to ride more efficiently, and how to handle you bike more confidently. Ultimately be a more fully prepared and experienced athlete. Too many coaches just prescribe training programs, straight out of the science lab. Very few coaches actually teach people how to ride or race their bikes. I still do that.
JP: If one wants a cycling computer, do recommend one with a cadence feature?
KB: Yes. Cadence and its different characteristics are the basis of all cycling. Cadence is always relevant. The sooner you understand this as an athlete, the quicker you will improve.
JP: I’ve heard the statement, “ride faster by riding slower.” Can you briefly explain this?
KB: Briefly stated…it’s about economy of effort. Often cyclists equate riding hard or fast by riding in the big chainring (typically a 53T ring), and they think that riding big gears day in and day out will make them faster and stronger. That’s a recipe for over-training. The bottom line is that there is a very real science to how the body works efficiently and effectively. It incorporates applying workload, and then allowing time for adaptation to take place. That means hard days balanced by easy days, and big gears balanced by easy gears.
JP: The Loft offers “fitness/VO2 testing,” how does this interact, intersect, or connect with your coaching?
KB: Fitness testing is a good way for you to learn about what size engine is in your ribcage, and what types of cycling you might excel at. It can also be helpful in determining a nutrition plan, or to determine short comings in your training. Once you’ve done the testing and have the information…then it’s like…okay…what are we going to do with this now? It’s helpful in determining what you’re capable of in cycling, and if anything…you’ll learn a lot about yourself in a short span of time.
JP: Do I need a fitness test before I start working with a coach?
KB: No you don’t, but it is very helpful if you can do one. It’ll take some of the guessing out of “why you are at where you are at”. So information is always better than none at all. I will always recommend doing one, but it’s certainly not a requirement.
JP: While working with a coach, how long before one would start to see results?
KB: It takes a while to make gains in the sport of cycling…and unfortunately that’s just the way it is. When you look at the big names in the sport, particularly in this country it shouldn’t surprise you that the majority of them were racing as juniors. It’s very rare to have someone pick up the sport as a young adult, and go far in it. With that knowledge, you need to understand that it takes time to learn things, put them into practice, and then make gains. Especially in a complex and multifaceted sport such as cycling.
That’s why I have a minimum commitment of 3 months when you sign up on coaching with me. Different people learn at different rates, and I’ve had some athletes learn in two weeks, what others have in two months. I have often felt that ones ability to learn and absorb has a direct connection to their enthusiasm and openness. The old adage of “what you put in, you get out”…very much applies.
