    "Londoncommuter struts out leggily"

    Entirely up to you. Nobody else will notice.

    Entirely personal. I prefer longer than those though, just find it more comfy

    You are riding a bicycle FFS, not parading on a fashion catwalk! :D

    Wear whatever you find comfortable and to hell with what other people think. Life is too short for that kinda shit.

    Enjoy the ride


    Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

    Length of those shorts looks ok, on the short side of normal.

    These look standard length from 10+ years ago. And I’ve seen shorter.
    Sean Yates?

    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    FFS wear what you want to wear. I'm guessing your a teenager worrying about those sorts of things?

    Personally I'd be more concerned about the cobwebs, but that's what happens when you turn 50.

    If it's really an issue to you, at least get both legs the same length.

    Yates was known for his 'short' shorts - his were definitely not 'standard' length back then. Standard length back then was pretty much the same as it is now..

    I was using Yates as the extreme shorter example. Longer leg lengths are currently trendy. I wear the same length as always. My tan line is 80mm above the knee cap.

    If anything is too short it’s the socks!
