I need new shorts!

Someone call the 80's fashion police! This is just embarrassing.

The good news is that I wear solid black tights over the shorts. The safety green I can live with, because it screams "LOOK AT ME!", which is a very good thing to scream if you're a cyclist battling traffic.

But I do need new shorts. Summer will be here soon, and I do not have the self confidence to pull off this look. Besides, motorists might end up laughing so hard they lose control and hit me anyway!

@Clarinda - Thanks! and yeah, I do. Getting older stinks. The tights cover the scars and unattractive veins, and help keep my knees warm (which avoids pain). The guy who did my bike fit said that if your knees aren't sweating, you're not doing it right. It really does make a difference.

@Karen - Thank you!! You're the best seester anywhere!
