I received a new bike for Xmas, it's true, once you rode a bike as a kid, you don't forget as an adult. The only thing is the body leaves you a bit sore. Still loving the feeling of being outdoors and seeing nature. It has become a destressor instead of going to the gym, now my family can participate getting active with me :)

    Ok, I'll warn you now that you will have to temper your butt a bit before it doesn't hurt anymore while riding. I bought a brand new bike at the beginning of the year and it took a while to get used to it. I belong to a bike club and we do some pretty decent miles on the weekends. I broke down and bought the bike shorts and had to do an occasional icing of the butt. Was painful but the kids got a good laugh out of icing mama's butt. Oh, and if you stop for any really long periods of time from riding, you'll have to re-temper your butt.

    The padded shorts are definitely worth getting if you're going to plan any long rides. I've been able to find some pretty decent shorts that were kind of cheap at Sports Authority. If you find you're a little more sore than normal, you might want to go with the men's shorts. I have found that the men's shorts tend to have more padding than the women's.
