Twelve functional trousers with a civilian look
It's the detail that counts. With modern cycling shorts, you can cycle comfortably but also go to the museum without feeling guilty. Multifunction is the name of the game. TREKKINGBIKE has subjected twelve trekking cycling shorts to an all-round practical test.

There are cyclists who swear by their trekking bike trousers. This is because most models are particularly comfortable to wear. If you also want to visit a museum, go shopping or take a short hike on your tour, you can't do without comfortable trekking bike trousers anyway.

Riding comfort and a fashionable leisure look don't have to be mutually exclusive. Women like to wear casual 3/4-length trousers for cycling trips, while men prefer the long version with lots of practical pockets.

The cycling shorts in the test:
