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.

….and also why are we commenting negatively abou ….and also why are we commenting negatively about people’s appearances in 2023?Double also: if the worst thing people on the interwebs can say about me is that they don’t like my smile…..then I feel pretty good about what type of person I’ve chosen to be.
💕Because we all want our kids to soar………⠀⠀So fitting right? Elvis named this plane after his daughter.  And all I’ve been thinking about throughout our St Jude experience…..is how certain things truly bond all of us.  Certain things cross economic barriers and continent and language differences.  Parenthood is one of those.  It’s a universal experience.  And I think whether we are parents or role models or aunties or friends……we all know what it’s like to dream and hope on behalf of a child in your life.⠀⠀In 2012, when I was newly married and not yet a parent one of my students was diagnosed with cancer.  Without revealing details about her or her family, I think it’s important to recognize that economic barriers prevented what should have been an earlier diagnosis.  It was one of many times I was reminded during my time with the amazing humans in my classrooms that…..we do NOT all have the same access or experiences in life.  That student and her family were one of the miracle stories.  In fact, when she came back to class, she complained about missing soccer games at recess and fell right back in with the rest in a way that to this day brings joyful tears to my eyes. ⠀⠀I said this on my stories during my trip, but…..I didn’t realize until this experience that families at St Jude NEVER receive a bill.  Ever.  No matter what.  That this access gives families hope during their darkest days.⠀⠀I’m going to be teaming up with St. Jude to do a fun challenge that will hopefully inspire y’all to support them too.  Let’s just say that…..for this scared of heights, refuses to take my feet off the ground theme park girlie……I’m going to making the ultimate sacrifices.⠀⠀What rides would you want to see me go on in support of St Jude? (be kind, I’m literally TERRIFIED of any and all rides that have a height limit). You know they REALLY moved me if I’m even thinking of doing this! ⠀⠀@stjude #stjudeambassador
💕Double tap if you know what the Peabody is fam 💕Double tap if you know what the Peabody is famous for…..so many of you guessed it in stories last night!🦆The Peabody Hotel is famous for their duck parade.  And we got to see it as a part of Day 1 of the St Jude Content Creator Summit.  I’m in Memphis to learn all about how St Jude is doing life saving research to fight and cure childhood cancers.💕Real talk: I get to do a lot of fun things because of this little app but projects like this? Are an absolute honor.  Did you know that patients at St Jude NEVER RECEIVE A BILL? What a gift to families in crisis. I’m so happy to share this next couple of days here in Memphis with y’all and to support such an important organization.🦆Now, swipe to see the ducks. @stjude #stjudeambassador
She IS Ariel. We saw it. It’s a gift. This s She IS Ariel. We saw it.  It’s a gift.  This stunning movie shows a princess who is absolutely……royal.  Graceful.  Brave and……the perfect mermaid. Years ago, I was sitting in the theater during the live action Lion King premiere just days after the Little Mermaid casting was announced.  And in walked Halle Bailey.  This young girl and all I could think was……how much weight of the world was on her shoulders.  The room paused.  And people everywhere stood.  They applauded her and smiled and I thought…..she really is a princess. Halle, you are the epitome of royalty.  Thank you for sharing your shine with the world.I would love to encourage you to follow these amazing creators who have been shining themselves and sharing a ton of special Little Mermaid experiences:@jenniferborget @erikaenchanted@davidvaughn@_the_adventurous_rjay@colormemagic@melizzablackLydia’s, Robbie’s and my full review of the film will be on the blog Monday morning.How excited are you for the film? Who is your favorite Little Mermaid character? #littlemermaid #colormemermaid #ariel
Mother’s Day Memories: Starting to wonder how ma Mother’s Day Memories: Starting to wonder how many more years we have of this family tradition before SOMEONE becomes a full blown teen / tween and the Happiest Place on Earth is a whole different vibeWe: hugged our favorite characters, danced every time mom got a coffee (swipe for that excellent content), Lydia and Robbie rode all the mountains, walked 22,000 steps on Saturday alone, and Robbie finally got to see Toontown for the first time since it’s reopening.We slept like rocks on the comfy beds at the JW Marriott (it was such a kind gesture when they offered to host us for Mother’s day weekend), I drank my morning coffee in their beautiful garden, and loved that it was a quick 15 minute walk to the Disneyland gates.  If you are looking for a luxury hotel experience near Disneyland, I highly recommend.  They have great dining options, a Starbucks in the lobby each morning, and a lovely pool.  This was a perfect treat yourself location.Have you done a holiday at Disneyland? My favorites (in no particular order): Halloween (Oogie Boogie is the best), Holiday Time and Mother’s Day……each has it’s own unique flavor.@MarriottBonvoy #MarriottBonvoy @jwmarriottanaheim #jwmarriottanaheim #MarriottBonvoyMoments Hosted
