What are your options for pants to bike in?

To be comfortable on your bike seat and enjoy your biking wear a garment that has a chamois (padding) sewn into it to provide cushioning between you and the bike seat. You can achieve this by;

Wearing TWO garments – Your choice of pants or shorts worn with goRides padded bike underwear – Bike goUnders

Choose from our range of shorts and pants (designed for comfortable movement) and combine with our goUnders. goUnders have a chamois (padding) sewn into the underwear providing you with the flexibility of what you wear when you ride.

Wearing LYCRA bike pants – an all in one garment that has a chamois (padding) sewn directly into the pant.  

Choose either the Casual Style – 3/4 Pant or the Endurance 3/4 Pant. You can learn more about each of these styles and understand which style would suit you best in our Lycra Bike Pant Style Guide
