What are "cycling shorts"?
Cycling shorts are specially designed shorts worn by cyclists to provide comfort and support during rides. They are made from stretchy, breathable materials that help reduce friction and absorb sweat. Cycling shorts often have a padded seat area, called a chamois, to reduce discomfort when sitting on the bike for long periods. They are usually tight-fitting to minimize wind resistance and improve performance. Many cycling shorts also have reflective elements for visibility in low-light conditions. They are commonly worn by cyclists during training, races, or casual rides.
Examples
