Hiding Bicycle Short "Bulge"
I didnt know which forum to actually put this in and being that most of the bicycling short wearers are road cyclist I thought this would be the best to address the question.
I have this problem with when I wear cyclist shorts in the front I have a bulge (if you havent figured it out yet...yes, I am a guy) and was wondering how I could safely hide this bulge without just lobbing it off

The best way to hide it - only wear matte black shorts.

Either the Rock Racing shorts or generic ones made of red lycra are usually good choices for concealing the frank and beans.

I dont know why you would want to hide it. It is an easy way to pick up some money on the side.
