Quite possibly the best 'helpful hint' to ever come up on this message board. Probably even worth publishing in the newsletter.
Here are some possible opening lines for dropping the hint: "Gee, did you see the great deal that <insert store name here> has on shorts this week?" "I bet those shorts have seen a lot of OBC rides" and the to-be-used-with-caution version: "Yo, dude, I have leather buttless chaps that are less revealing than those shorts!" ----Original Message Follows---- From: "Wilson, Barbara" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "OBC cycling group (E-mail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [obc] Worn out shorts Date: Fri, 16 Aug 2002 10:52:24 -0400 Hello all: This may be somewhat of a touchy subject but one worth bringing up nevertheless. Cycling shorts don't last forever and the fabric does start wearing away/breaking apart over time, especially at the back, probably from pulling them up and down. Once this happens, the back view can be quite revealing to riders behind. Revealing, in some instances, can be good, but in the case of worn out shorts, I find it quite revolting. I'm sure the owners of the worn shorts are quite oblivious to this. The only way one can check for worn-ness is to inspect the shorts periodically before putting them on. Holding them up to the light and comparing the back with the front is a good indicator. Now, I know you're all wondering if I'm referring to you! Probably not, but I do urge you to check your shorts periodically and replace them if necessary. And how can one tactfully tell a fellow cyclist that he/she has a nice butt!
