    Can anyone tell me what the brand of these shorts is? II think I bought them on Amazon but it was 6 years ago, the buying history does not have them.

    A picture would be nice, but I'd be surprised if they could be identified unless they are pretty unique. If you are looking for good riding apparel for recumbent riders, look at Aerotechdesigns.com.

    Strange but no. I was unable to upload a picture. Turned out the Brand is Bend It. Unfortunately they don't have my size.

    EDIT: I added a couple of pics of the Bend-It Shorts. As noted below, Bend-It is discontinuing production of the shorts and their remaining stock is limited. A.D.

    For anyone finding this thread this note is on Bend It Cycling:
    NOTICE: Our retail line of original Bend It Cycling apparel is being discontinued. Once our current inventory of BIC original apparel is sold out, there will be no new stock coming in.

    OK I guess the shorts were too good to be True.
    Any other suggestions?

    Boure has been around a long time and makes quality Recumbent Shorts, but they are w/o the extra pockets. :worried: The Hostel Shoppe & AeroTech Designs also carry several brands of shorts as well.

    The other option is picking up Mountain Bike Shorts, then (carefully) using a razor blade or Xacto Knife to remove the inner pad. Really any hiking shorts will do, since recumbents have reasonable padding anyway.

    :badwords: One caveat though, you want zippered pockets if you plan on carry things while riding...like your wallet. Just ask me how I know that! :twitcy:
