Subject: Bike Short Issues
I am having a problem with the front the pad on my bike shorts that is causing irritation on sensitive parts as a result of the seam connecting the pad to the front panels of the shorts. I have tried to "butter" up but after a 2+ hr ride I still get irritation/light abrasion that takes a couple days to heal. This is not a saddle sore issue.

I have tri shorts that don't give me issues but I have not worn them on a 2+ hr ride but will very soon tto see if the problem is with me not the gear.

I don't want to bash the company as they make good products. Is there a way to patch over the area to increase comfort? Do I need to put extra butter on both sides of the contact area?

Thanks for your assistance

The first time out and 50 meters in my oxygen was in very short supply. I realized that all that running didn't do much for this sport.

On the long bike rides of 80+ miles I get very strong pain in my toes. I slow down my pace and I might recover, but when I hit the next hill it is back. Could this be some kind of circulation issue?

What are all these new funny-shaped saddles all about? Are they more comfortable than older designs? Will they keep me healthier so I can train on my bike longer? Should I change my saddle?

I suspect your nutrition and training program may have more to do with your symptoms than your Clydesdale classification.
