Yup, it would be hard to mistake that for a deer...

Call me names..if you will...(as some of my mtn biking buds do...) but I am an old school tight black spandex man myself. Those "baggy" style shorts get in the way...and I find they get caught on the nose of my saddle as I move around in the cockpit while riding. Also, I find the spandex variety pretty comfortable as they seem to disappear after a while, whereas, I'm always feeling the baggy ones. I have a nice pair of baggy ones that sit in the drawer, while I go through a whole bunch of spandex ones.

I used to only rock the spandex, but I am now used to riding baggies. I feel naked wearing spandex alone now. I really don't notice them...

I wear baggies, I just make sure they aren't too baggy. I've had some issues catching the seat in the past with shorts that were a little too baggy. I tried the spandex thing once, it wasn't for me.

I wear lycra on the road and loose fitting shorts on the trail, with a chamois insert and leg grippers. Or tough nylon over lycra. When I fall on the trail, which happens far more often then crashing on the road, I appreciate the abraision protection, and also not ripping a $40 pair of lycra.
