I had a hard time finding a good pair of baggy cycling shorts in the UK. Some had this utility cargo look, which wasn't stylish for casual wear. Another problem was some brands allowed too much space for the underwear, making the crotch look 'floppy.' And one well-known UK brand has their screamingly big white logo printed on its black shorts. (Classy, guys.)

So I Googled "best cycling shorts" and that's when I was introduced to Club Ride's range of cycling apparel.

I made the order for the Mountain Surf Men's 12" Shorts and, man, the first time I put them on I loved it, no holds barred. Not only was the sophisticated style unique for cycling shorts, with an elegant look that works off the bike, but the silky smooth material feels great; it's light enough for hot weather (despite the 12" length); and it's the perfect fit, with just the right amount of taper. (I would happily debate anyone who says the medium runs too small.)

Not a quibble, but the deep-enough two main pockets are positioned in the front, which is quirky, but for someone who likes a bit of quirk in their fashion, I quickly got used to it.

Overall, this apparel proves how far the craftsmanship of making cycling shorts of this type has come and I look forward to purchasing the next colourway.

exactly what i wanted & needed. i bought another pair in a different color. could i wear them everyday?? why not!

These shorts are like wearing your favorite casual shorts out biking. I always wear these when I am going to a restaurant, for a beer (or 7) or such right after my ride. No one can tell I am wearing Biking shorts. As far as the fit, I would say they fit a bit small. I am around a 32 waist and after trying on a medium (my normal size) I went with the large and they fit well. Better a little big than a little small. Love these shorts. I have two pairs, one blue and one light grey.

Fit on point, comfy, good looking shorts

I really like these shorts, I used them once so far. I really like that the front pocket opening is high so I don’t worry about anything falling out while I ride. I have a 34” inseam and I wish I would have ordered the 10” instead of the 12” but it’s not a big deal
