 People are really starting to care about how much they look like they don't care.

 I care enough to post about how I don't care how much they care while looking like they don't care.

 For real. putting this amount of effort into appearance for the sake of looking like no effort was put in sounds like someone who cares way too much.

 Lol every generation does it. We had an entire genre of music called alternative.

 Agree. All the "look at me" hawiian shirts from the Whistler opening just make me laugh. So Alternative, just like everyone else.

 Show us you actually don’t care and wear Roach shorts. We know you should have no trouble finding a pair since they never wear out. That’s what not giving AF looks like.

 This is exactly how highschool works. All the cool kids want to look different while all looking the same at the same time. Or you can also call them the way I was when I was at highschool: A bunch of sheeps who think they look different.

 @AyJayDoubleyou: it’s not about being alternative. It’s about celebrating opening day! They are not trying to be different, but rather enjoying what unites them.

 $40 for any shorts nowadays is pretty good.

 I just got a bunch of $25 Goodthreads shorts on Amazon that have hundreds of positive reviews, in any length or style you could want.

There is one advantage to a specifically designed MTB short though (if it has this) - thicker anti-wear material in the saddle area. I've seen "cycle shorts" that didn't have this and wore quickly, and I've seen non cycle shorts that lasted forever for MTB simply because the material was thicker. The biggest issue with "Non-Cycling" shorts is they are usually too baggy and not enough stretch. Can't tell you how many shorts I've turn the crotch out of because they didn't stretch.

 I don’t know. I recently got some decathlon (big sport chain in Euro) ‘all mountain’ cycling shorts for 20euro. They ok

 I bought a pair of “trail” shorts at Costco for 10 dollars and they seem to work just as fine as any of my other spendy bike shorts.

 I did spur of the moment 4 mi/800 ft ride the other day in the cut off Levi's cord shorts I happened to be wearing at the time; the swass was just about unbearable by the end of it. Performance fabrics exist for a reason...
  • 2 1
 Exactly. I cant stand all of these idiots who swear by the "my kirkland jean shorts are the best!" line. No, they aren't. Yes, most "MTB specific" items are overpriced. Look for sales, save some pennies. Its really not that bad. And yes, you are allowed to bicycle in whatever the heck you want.

 Handup responding to the people's cries on $150 shorts pricing in the "10 kits" article published last week.

 Just got a pair of oil-slicked titanium scissors specially designed for cutting the legs off of stretchy jeans for mountain bike riding. They will work for lengths from Daisy Dukes to hide my ugly knees. And you already know your pocket and zipper stats.

 This isn't even new, cut off jeans permanently hemmed to look just a little frayed have been around a few cycles since at least the 80s. Although in the 80s jeans were generally not stretch and worn a bit tight to be great for riding

 lol wtf. Gotta buy a kit to show you don't care? I'm cool shredding in surf shorts. Wicks the sweat pretty good too.... Don't need a belt...or a buckle. I can spark a doobie or crack a brew with my lighter.

 Came here expecting to say "Spending $100 on shorts is a funny way to show you don't care", but $43, heck, that's actually pretty reasonable.

 40 bucks for stretchy jorts? Shit I’d buy a pair given they’re probably more durable then regular ones. And would probably just wear them outside biking.

The for those who just don’t care...that’s cringe ad placement for sure.

 This is almost as bad as buying a new t-shirt that says "Dirtbag Life" on it. I don't understand the fascination of buying new clothes with the intention of looking "poor"
