Wearing bike shorts in public?

[Anonymous]

I am thinking of using my bike as a daily driver this summer to run errands and get to work I work an office job and my boss said it’s ok to wear my tight bike shorts to work also if I am running errands or doing something in town I will need to wear my tight bike shorts in public what do you think of this what would you do if your coworker was wearing bike shorts or if a guy was wearing bike shorts in the store the only problem is they will start to stink so I will need to wash them about once a month and not every 3 months

Offices must have changed because I can't imagine most allowing an employee to wear bicycle shorts but... If you're a chick, I guess it OK, if you aren't distracting the dudes if you have great legs and a great bottom.( Read creepy and sexist if you're a woman as I type this at age 70, don't I? Well, I don't mean to creep you out.)

Wearing bike shorts in public and to work has actually become quite a trend, especially with the rise of athleisure fashion! It's all about how you style them. If your office has a relaxed dress code and your boss is cool with it, why not? It's practical for your commute and can be chic if paired with the right top and accessories. Just ensure they are in good condition and appropriate for your workplace.

Seeing a coworker in bike shorts would be totally fine by me, especially knowing the context of them biking to work. Same goes for spotting someone in bike shorts while running errands – it's quite common nowadays with the fitness and comfort-first trends.

Regarding the care of your bike shorts, washing them once a month might not be enough, especially if you're wearing them regularly. It’s essential for hygiene and maintaining the fabric's quality to wash them after every use or two, depending on your level of activity and sweat. Keeping them fresh will also make you feel more confident and comfortable, both at work and while out and about.
