I want to take a girl on a bike ride?

[Anonymous]

I met this girl about a year ago and we go swimming together in the morning before school and she is use to seeing me wear my swimming jammers you know knee length skin tight shorts and we are planning on going on a bike ride for about 8 hours on some scenic gravel roads and was wondering if I should wear my cycling shorts I think it’s ok considering that she already knows what I look like wearing tight shorts I also want to wear them because there comfortable and breathable and especially because we will be cycling for almost 8 hours what are your thoughts should I wear them or should I not and girls what is your thoughts if a man is wearing biker shorts on a long bike ride

Unless she’s wearing similar you will look a twat.
also are you sure she can manage doing about 160 miles.
Even going slow that’s 80 miles.

Sounds a bit of a crap date tbh.

I've been on bikes rides for dates and it’s a couple of hours.

We have been planning this for a while we are going to take it slow and take plenty of breaks it’s not like we will be going competitive mode we plan to stop somewhere in a small town to eat and take scenic route no hurry and probably going to be like 30 miles

[RebelinSteel]

Well then 8 hours to do 39 miles in bike gear you will look a twat.

[RebelinSteel]

30 miles even

[Asker]

And yes she will wear something similar I recommend getting some padded bike shorts to her I never said it had to be the tight ones

[RebelinSteel]

You will both look a bit twat ish, you are only doing 30 miles over 8 hours
I know if we passed you we would laugh at both
It’s like doing really slow and loads of stops

A "tw*t?" Haven't heard that one for a while.

Going for a bike ride together sounds like a fantastic plan, and it's great that you're thinking about comfort and practicality for the journey. Given that you both swim together and she's accustomed to seeing you in swimwear, wearing cycling shorts for an extended bike ride makes perfect sense. They're designed for such activities, offering comfort and preventing chafing, which is pretty important for an 8-hour ride. Also, considering their functionality and your shared interest in active lifestyles, it's unlikely she would find it odd. It's all about enjoying the ride and making the most of your time together, so go ahead and wear what makes you feel good and comfortable. Plus, it shows you're thoughtful about your activity together, which is a nice touch! How does she feel about the bike ride? It sounds like an adventure you're both going to enjoy a lot.
