Another reminder that if you have an all-sports GOAT podium and Marianne Vos is not on it you need to do your research and redo it and respect the GOAT.

Why Women Cyclists Should Choose Cycling Skorts
Skorts have become increasingly popular among female cyclists in recent years. But why have skorts emerged as the preferred bottoms for women riders as opposed to regular shorts? Keep reading as we dive into the top reasons cycling skorts are the best choice for women on bikes.
Modesty Matters
For a lot of women, modesty is a priority whether on or off the bike. The problem with traditional cycling shorts is the revealing fit that leaves little to the imagination from behind. Cycling skorts provide fuller coverage of the legs and rear for women who prefer a modest look while riding. The skirt overlay allows freedom of movement while protecting modest sensibilities.
Unrestricted Motion
Cycling requires full range of leg motion to powerfully and efficiently pedal. But many pants and jeans worn by casual female riders can constrict movement. Cycling skorts eliminate this issue with their two-piece construction. The shorts underneath move naturally with the body while the skirt on top provides stylish coverage. Skorts allow fluid motion and total comfort in all riding positions.
Chafe Protection
Let’s face it, bike seats can wreak havoc down there after miles in the saddle if you’re not wearing the right bottoms. The inner shorts of skorts have a lined chamois pad to prevent dreaded chafing and discomfort. Seamless designs prevent irritation in sensitive zones. Skorts shield delicate areas so you can focus on the ride, not ouchiness.
Flattering Fit
Many women avoid skin-tight cycling shorts because the bulging, sausage look just isn’t flattering. Cycling skorts offer a more tailored, feminine fit. The inner shorts move with your body to eliminate embarrassing lines or bulges. The skirt smooths and shapes your figure for a confident, womanly silhouette. Skorts help you look great on the bike.
Versatile Style
Cycling skorts check the boxes for both fashion and function. Their athletic yet feminine design makes them versatile enough for cycling, running errands, travel and everyday wear. Choose from different colors, prints and lengths to match your personal style. Skorts offer a cute athleisure look suitable for almost any occasion.
Convenience Is Key
Cycling skorts solve many of the inconveniences women face when riding in shorts or pants. Skorts eliminate awkward backpack bathroom breaks. Most styles have pockets to hold ride essentials. Skorts made from quick-dry, moisture wicking fabric keep you fresh post-ride. Many designs zip off to easily convert into shorts too.
Leg Protection
Skorts defend your legs in ways regular shorts can’t. Their fabric wicks away sweat to prevent irritating chafing on long rides. Skorts shield skin from the sun, debris kicked up by tires and vegetation. In the event of a fall, skorts provide an extra layer of defense between the road and your skin. Skorts really cover all the bases.
Confidence Boost
Chafing seams, lack of coverage and ill-fitting shorts can make women feel self-conscious on bikes. But skorts allow you to ride carefreely thanks to their flattering silhouette and unrestrictive design. Cycling skorts eliminate tugging, adjusting and discomfort so you can pedal with poise. Skorts equate confidence, allowing women to ride boldly.
The Verdict
When it comes to choosing the best cycling bottoms for women, skorts are the clear winner. With their blend of coverage, comfort, protection and style, it’s easy to see why female riders prefer skorts over regular shorts. LAMEDA cycling skorts empower women to ride comfortably, safely and fashionably. So why settle for immodest, awkward and restrictive cycling shorts when you can enjoy the freedom of riding in cute, functional skorts? The choice is simple - skorts for the win!

The most emotional winning shot of recent times. 🥺
Lotte Kopecky just won Nokere Koerse. She did not celebrate, was clearly fighting tears/crying the last kms and after the finish line. Her big brother, who inspired her to start cycling, died a few days ago at 29.
