That's close to unanimous in a newsgroup since it really makes no difference which goes on first for all practical purposes. No difference at all? Hardly. (1) If it's cold when you start before dawn but both the earth and you are much warmer after an hour, you can take the tights off anywhere if you have the tights on top and the shorts underneath. If the tights are underneath, this is not possible in a public place unless you are both a professor of topology and a contortionist. (2) Whatever's next to your crotch during exercise should be regularly washed. This is easy for shorts and they will last a long time. If you wear bike shorts, you probably have several pairs, so you only have to do bike laundry every few days. Tights don't hold up as well to repeated washing, and most of us have fewer pairs of tights. This would require more frequent laundry if they were worn as underwear. I think I would prefer the look of shorts over the tights. Winter cycling is definitely not about "style". Those are very good points. Thank you. Tights over shorts it is. It isn't likely that it is going to get anything near warm enough during the winter to have me take them off, but the washing logic appears to be beyond reproach. I figure that it is around 40F now and I'm biking in jeans. I can't see how tights and 20-30 would be too hot. |
