• The tight shorts do two things. They hold a small amount of padding where it’s needed, and keep the amount of fabric to a minimum, to reduce friction and chaffing. They are strongly encouraged for 20+ mile ride. The jerseys are also functional: tight, to eliminate wind flapping, quick drying, to stay cool and bright, for safety and the all important “we’re a bit crazy” factor!
