Short Shorts.

since it started getting nice out this year ive come across an issue. the issue is this. when its hot out, you want to wear shorts. when you wear shorts on a unicycle, the end up looking like short shorts. then you feel strange becauses your wearing shorts that started off normal length but now are four inches shorter. help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then there's always bike shorts, which come in many types including mountain bike shorts. They can be expensive, but they're worth it. Or if you do a lot of Trials and non-seated riding, maybe you don't need the padding, which will save you some money!

Then you have the problem when you get off your Uni, your shorts are too long!

Just don't get shorts with such a long crotch.

I wear something similar to those most of the time (unless it's either extremely hot or very cold).

How about wearing garters/suspenders from your shorts to your socks!

I sometimes wear normal shorts/cloth belt over my cycling shorts while muni and they usually start slipping down due to the slick surface. Once in a while after a UPD I'll pull up, tighten the belt and keep on going. I've gone strictly cycle shorts for the past couple rides and probably won't go back. They stay put.
