Cycling Bottoms

Cycling Bottoms: Your Foundation for a Better Ride

Comfort in the saddle starts right here. Whether you’re laying down watts on a local road climb, pointing a mountain bike down technical singletrack, or cruising the bike path with the family, your choice of cycling bottoms dictates how much you enjoy the ride. At Bicycle Warehouse, we stock a massive selection of men’s and women’s cycling shorts, bibs, pants, and tights engineered to eliminate chafing, support your muscles, and keep you riding longer.

Padded Bike Shorts vs. Cycling Bibs

If you are spending more than an hour in the saddle, you need a high-quality chamois (the padded insert). We carry both traditional shorts and premium bibs to suit your riding style:

• Padded Bike Shorts: Featuring an elastic waistband, standard cycling shorts are easy to pull on, highly breathable, and perfect for shorter rides, indoor spin classes, or casual commuting. They also make bathroom breaks incredibly simple.
• Cycling Bib Shorts: The ultimate choice for road, gravel, and cross-country riders. By using shoulder straps to hold the shorts up, bibs completely eliminate waistband digging and restriction across your stomach. More importantly, the straps keep your chamois perfectly locked in place, preventing the friction that causes saddle sores during high-mileage days.

Mountain Bike Baggies & Trail Pants

When you take it to the dirt, you need apparel that can handle the abuse. Our mountain bike shorts and pants are built from abrasion-resistant, four-way stretch fabrics that move with you over technical terrain. Look for baggies with laser-cut ventilation, articulated knees designed to fit seamlessly over your armor, and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coatings to shed mud and trail spray. Many of our trail bottoms feature a removable padded liner, giving you the best of both worlds: rugged exterior protection with interior saddle comfort.

Tights & Thermal Bottoms for Year-Round Riding

Don’t let a drop in temperature keep you off the bike. As the seasons change, swap your summer shorts for thermal cycling tights or winter riding pants. We carry fleece-lined bottoms designed to trap your body heat, complete with windproof and water-resistant leading panels to block biting winds and icy road spray.
