Cycling shorts How do I choose? What cycling shorts have the best pad or chamois?
Why do some bibs & shorts cost more than others? What should I look for in a quality cycling short or cycling bib? These questions will be answered by USA Cycling Expert Coach Menachem Brodie, to help you understand the differences in the most vital part of cycling bottoms: the pads!
The chamois (or pads) are the most important part of cycling bottoms, shorts, bibs (or whatever you would like to call them). There are 5 points of contact on a bike:
Each of your hands, Both of your feet, and your butt. As a bike fitter, the general rule followed, is we want roughly 60-70% of your weight, to be on your butt, and supported by a proper fitting saddle.
You can learn more about how to properly sit on a bike by watching me video on just that here:

Very important is that you understand the difference between the different levels of clothing and bibs/shorts, so you can choose the correct pair of cycling shorts for you, the terrain, and the amount of time that you spend in the saddle!
