the general rule is
If the shorts are able to stand up alone, then best not to buy em

Stand up? I have a few pairs of old shorts that go gut to the garage, grab a bike, and go out for a ride by themselves.

Oh stop being so precious you lot!
As long as there ain't any blood, skid marks or unidentifiable stains in them just pop the on and enjoy.
(I did have to use tweezers to extract a downy yet obstinate pube from one pair I got, but hey, they look good now!)

Surely there are more germs on the average palm than on some washed with the wife's knickers cycling shorts?

I couldn't wear 2nd hand shorts, just the thought of it, even though I know they could be perfectly clean. The average keyboard is far dirtier than the average toilet seat :shock:

Nothing wrong with 2ndhand kit - usually it's only been used once & a sizing issue identified

I really couldn't give a monkeys what catches my apples as long it's not human (other half aside) or animal & fairly clean!

yes i just thought, that special 'man itch', you know the one, then the man touches the elevator button/door handle/shopping trolley and you go and touch it straight after him

Ed Edwards has another story about selling some second-hand shorts that will make you toes curl. Someone wanted some 'extras' included with the shorts.
