Where can I buy comfortable, cheapish, black size 16 cycling shorts? I'd want nearly knee-length. All tips gratefully received.

Sports stores, normal shops don't carry them anymore. I ended up vutting some leggings off the other year instead.

Leisure centre shops - they sell them for aerobics classes etc. Otherwise try specialist sport clothing shops, but IME those from leisure centres are much more comfy and better fitting (on my non-sporty physique, anyway!).

Try Primark - if they don't have shorts, they usually have leggings which you could chop off if necessary.

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/ is where I've bought things before. They have a women only section. There's nothing quite so good value as I've bought in the past. But there are baggy ones as well as lycra. If you want just cycle style shorts rather than actually for serious cycling (ie not shiny and not padded) you could try Evans, they've often had them in the past.

Evans and the Edinburgh Bike Co-op both have websites and a good range. I love my Corine Dennis cycle shorts but they were a bit more expensive - I bought them when I was on my bike most days.

Dance shops - let me know if you have difficulty & I can see if my aunt can order you some.

My cycling clothes come from Lidl and Tchibo. Unfortunately, you have to wait for them to do stock them for a week or two...

If you know a Canadian, get them to get them from the Mountain Equipment Co-op and post them to you.
