Best Bike Shorts: A Comparison

This post may contain affiliate links. Purchasing through them helps support this website. This post may also contain items gifted for consideration.

Let's talk about the best bike shorts.  I'm comparing three different styles to determine the best for us pear shaped ladies! I can't believe I'm even writing this post.  When bike shorts came back into style, I rolled my eyes.  HARD.  If I wore them the first time, I wasn't going to wear them the second time.  Well, let's go ahead and file that under things I should have said.  Because I'm obsessed.  Now let's be clear, we're talking about bike shorts for STYLE.  Not function for actual cycling.

Best Bike Shorts: A Comparison

Before I started my actual try on, I did a little online research to find candidates for the best bike shorts.  These particular styles all came highly recommended.  I wanted to compare some higher and lower price point options, and I was on the hunt for brands with a decent size range.  Each of these? Fit the bill and are great for those of us with pear shaped body types.On the hunt for the best best shorts? These are super soft and a KILLER price!

Aerie Real Me Wrap Bike Short

These? FIT LIKE A DREAM.  They're super comfortable and I just ordered them in another color.  They're also a killer price.  I wear a size large in these, and highly recommend if you're looking for a comfy and soft pair of biker shorts. They've also got a great higher waist and I love the v shaped cut.

These may be the best bike shorts available, they're a STEAL!

Aerie Chill High Waisted Bike Short

Looking for a pair of bargain bike shorts that are a more classic cut (aka if the v shaped top of the real me wrap bike shorts aren't for you)? These are a GREAT option.  The palm color bike shorts were the first pair I bought in the fall, and I wear them ALL the time.  They're a little bit shorter (I also wear a large in these)….you could easily size up for a longer option.

On the hunt for the best bike shorts? These are the perfect length and fit like a DREAM!

Spanx Faux Leather Bike Short

I mean, can you go wrong with faux leather? The internet told me to size up in these, and I'm glad I did.  So mine are an extra large and they fit PERFECTLY.  These definitely have some light compression and shaping qualities, so I think if you're on the hunt for bike shorts to wear on a dressier occasion, they'd be your best best (they also come in a more traditional fabric if you're not into the faux leather).  Honestly? They're worth the price.  They fit like a dream and I love how they look on, plus bonus that they're a little bit longer.

✨One of my favorite spots on the Disney Wish? The Bayou Lounge.  It’s stunning.  Perfectly detailed, ornate and plush and feels like……..a place you’d love to sit and sip on something fabulous.  There is live music in the evenings, there are beignets all day, and fancy drinks too.  It’s perfect for….one of my favs.

💦 I had to: full Disney Wish Aquamouse report 💦

For research purposes…..since anything that combines Disney and bathing suits is a requirement in my book.

Scroll to see my ride cam and reactions (and a sneak peak at Disney’s first attraction at sea).

Is it scary? No. 
Will kids like it? Yes.
Will adults like it? Yes.
Is it adorable? 100% yes.

Now…..would you ride the Aquamouse? Drop a yes or no in the comments.

<hosted by Disney> I had ONE thing I wanted to do during our day at Epcot before we sail away for the Christening of the Disney Wish tomorrow.  And it lived up to every expectation I had. ⠀
⠀
Seriously, this ride is a magical addition to the parks (and I know WDW people it’s not new to you but it was new to us Disneylanders…..I’m SO glad I didn’t watch ride spoilers beforehand……it was so fun to experience it this way!)⠀
⠀
So, if you had to pick ONE thing to do at Walt Disney World….what would your priority be? Now I have to know (and why is it something Epcot related).⠀
