IT'S A REST DAY: Are your cycling shorts comfortable or do they chafe and bind? One key to selecting shorts is to look at how the pad or "chamois" is cut and sewn together. Some pads have a seam down the middle and if it's raised, men often find it uncomfortable. But in carefully sewn, high-quality shorts, the seams lie flat and don't abrade the skin. Feel the seam carefully with your fingers before buying. Women are often more comfortable with a pad cut specifically for them. The seams are set off to each side of the midline, leaving only smooth fabric in contact with tender body parts. If your shorts creep down while riding, consider bib shorts with built-in suspenders.
