I hate

I don't expect you blokes to understand, but I hate the fact that all I can find is cycling shorts, no leggings. I know I used to own non-cycle specific clothing...I just can't bloody find it. Now I'm going to troop around brighton on foot in padded shorts. Fucking bikes.

I'm having the exact same problem. You can get tights, no pad, to wear over shorts, but that seems a bit rubbish - or 3/4 length shorts, but that's shit too.

Edit: I've completely misread your post, thought you were on about cycling clothes :D
