DOUBLE SHORTING

dou*ble shor*ting [duhb-uhl shor-ting]

The use of two pairs of bicycle shorts for protection against the cold. In addition to reducing the temperature impact of wind against the skin, double shorting is highly effective in reducing the physical appeal of spandex, on account of the double chamois (chamois butt). Particularly useful when encountering snow and hail on a bike ride in St. George, Utah.
