Looking for some suggestions from those here that cycle. I've ridden a bicycle off and on my whole life, more so in my teens and early 20's. Never got serious enough to buy some cycling shorts. So I am looking for some suggestions for specific brands. Here's the story. I turn 40 tomorrow and I am the heaviest I have ever been in my life. Not happy about it. I'm 6'1" and sitting right at 300 lbs. Decided that I need to get my fat ass on my bicycle and start eating better before I end up killing myself.
Just started riding about 5-6 miles a couple of times a week with my son. I would eventually like to ride a lot more and feel I need something better than the cargo shorts that I have been wearing. I'm not thrilled about stuffing my fat in sausage casings for everyone to see. I did a quick search on Amazon for shorts and was quickly overwhelmed. I did notice that there are some marketed towards the mountain bike community that look like cargo shorts over the tight spandex/lycra shorts. That seems more my style. So would you guys have any suggestions for a brand that would have a short like this that would be big enough to go around my 44" waist? Anyone have first hand experience with different brands? What do you like and why?
Thanks in advance.
