Three-speed bicycle shorts (high gear)
three-speed bicycle shorts (high gear)
Plural: three-speed bicycle shorts
The newest rage in bicyclist clothing technology is clothes that change speeds with your bike! After all, if the same clothes that you wear around the house aren't good enough to wear when you're exercising, then by extension the shorts you wear when taking a leisurely cruise shouldn't match the shorts you'd wear when pedaling up a mountain.
There's a dial on the waistband for setting the speed of the shorts. Currently they're in high gear. This is the fastest speed, where things zip by so fast they're over before they happen. You get not one but two racing stripes to denote just how fast you are, because with one you wouldn't even be able to see it, and with two they simply blur into one, so you can barely tell it's there.
