Let's just say economy size rears do not have a good selection of safety wear. <br /><br />I haven't needed bicycle pants, (out here in the country, jeans with rubber bands over the cuff are just fine, if a bit childish looking), but I have the sneaking suspicion that I would 'end' up with the same problem... <br /><br />CatCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085463730809297977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33059794.post-19063732947094508882010-01-18T08:55:34.429-08:002010-01-18T08:55:34.429-08:00I had that same issue - couldn't find exercise...I had that same issue - couldn't find exercise clothes big enough to fit (and my LB and Avenue did not carry any, which I think was a dastardly plot to keep us as customers!) - I think I ended up in a pair of Old Navy yoga pants for the longest time.

And they tend to have flare (if not flair), i.e. they get wide around the hem, which is a bad idea for bicycle riding.<br />Most leggings that I've seen are made from very thin fabric; the pants that I have are a bit thicker.<br />Dang but I'm fussy!The Merryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09660495393832517684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33059794.post-59509731100330934642010-01-18T07:32:29.175-08:002010-01-18T07:32:29.175-08:00It Depends! ha!

I could only imagine some sort of pants to wear over the cycling shorts/tights.<br /><br />The internet is a wonderful shopping experience but sometimes you need to visit a local store to try stuff on. I can be anywhere between L and XXL in cycling shorts based on which model (it even varies within brand).<br /><br />But, all that being said, it is a great feeling when you get to a smaller size. Your focus makes well on your way.RockStarTrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01819672184842226835noreply@blogger.com
