Hi All :D This is my first post, glad to be here, after lurking for a few months :)

Does anyone know where I'd be able to get a set of pants the same sort of thing as the pic below? I don't really have the legs for lycra :shock:

Thanks :oops:

    Hi welcome to the forum.

    Try having look through the reviews on baggy cycling shorts section on this website:
    http://www.bikeradar.com/mtb/gear/category/clothing/shorts/baggy

    I would also recommend a pair of padded under shorts to wear under the baggy shorts. It makes life a LOT more comfortable. There's also been a few posts on "what shorts etc" use the search function and have a read through old posts there should be a lot of info for you.

    Back on topic, the Endura Humvee's aren't too disimilar

    http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/Cycle/7/Endura_Hummvee_Baggy_Shorts/5360012392/

    Ignore the picture they look better in reality, extend to just below the knee, and come with a decent padded liner, and are a fairly slim cut so they don't flap arround too much.

    Those ones are the shorts. These are the 3/4's. Well worth the money.

    Hi Robmanic, whats wrong with having wheel reflectors? Presumably there is a reason why all bikes have them on when bought? I still have mine on btw, after almost 2 years of almost daily commuting.

    Just asking so that I know.....I am not asking for a torrent of condescending comments/abuse.
