WHAT DOES CYCLING SHORTS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

cycling shorts

Cycling shorts

Cycling shorts are short, skin-tight legwear designed to improve comfort and efficiency while cycling. They: ▪ reduce wind resistance, increasing aerodynamic efficiency; ▪ protect the skin against the repetitive friction of the legs against the bicycle seat or frame; ▪ provide support to the genitals, analogously to a jock strap; ▪ draw sweat away from the skin to prevent chafing and rashes, and to cool the rider down through the process of evaporation; ▪ compress the legs, which can help combat muscular fatigue; and ▪ reduce the weight of a rider's clothing. ▪ improve comfort during long rides with extra padding in the seat area called cycling pad Historically, cycling shorts were made of knit black wool, which hides oil and grease stains, with a chamois leather patch inside the shorts in the crotch area, which reduces chafing from the bicycle saddle. Modern cycling shorts are often made of spandex with a synthetic chamois which acts as an elastic interface between the cyclist's body and the saddle, and are produced in a variety of shapes and styles to suit the needs of different riders.
