As lets face it, the 'core' biking shorts are weak as well.

Hardwearing, robust shorts that are maybe used for a different sport that can be used for cycling?

Any climbing ones? See where I'm going?

Tesco often sell heavy duty cotton camo shorts - cheap (£6), 6 pockets, very comfy, very tough and protective. But no good in the rain, obviously.

Go to your local army surplus store, they have cheap waterproof pants and shorts which can be cut down..

Spot on

Quite possibly. Strangely I think my company does your confidential waste as well!

I leaned out of my car window at the lights - looked back at the cyclist and kinda said 'h..' as he went passed- cyclist looked and said 'oh hello'.

Hora. I can't believe you're now using the forum to pursue your cottaging aims. Leave him alone.

Oh... and buy some Troy Lee shorts you cheapskate. You get what you pay for. They are absolutely indestructible and last forever

What size do you take and waist? Looks quite good.

Not me I'm afraid. My company is called STEwaste if that rings any bells?

Thats them. My Office Manager said the blokes who come in to change the waste are very polite/nice.

buy some Troy Lee shorts
....and wear a baseball cap back to front and say 'gnarly'? 😉

Are you working all week this week? I really am itching to go back and ride Edale to Cavedale, to Chapel Gate this week again.
