I'm excited for my upcoming charity ride (and by upcoming, I mean in August) that I've been training for. Being a total newb, I have to pay for things like jerseys, bike shorts, socks, extra gloves, that most riders already have because they've done lengthy rides before. It's not cheap, it's an investment and you get what you pay for.
Looking today at some shorts, I happened upon these and can't quite put my finger on it but something isn't right here...

I mean, shorts that are $97,000, if that comes with free frozen yogurt for the rest of your life then I start rethinking things but damn, that's quite the range there. Are the $38 shorts lined with thorns? Are the $97k shorts made out of unicorn hair?
I don't know, but dammit I want to find out...
