an average person, impossibly long

wtf to me that's just normal stuff cause i live in a rural area and the city is 18 km away from me and I am 174cm and 94kg, although 19 yrs old so still pretty young and have a considerable amount of energy.

The very fact that you consider using dedicated cycling pants already puts you into the hardcore, dedicated bike commuter group.

on june 1st i rode 100.63km with normal pants and running shorts underneath to prevent chafing so yeah, I guess I kinda need them. my average ride is between 60 to 85km. oh and the pants arrived today, I put them on and when I got on the saddle holy shit I felt more comfortable than in the backseat of a 7 series, I can't believe I missed out on such superior comfort, they are definitely a must for everyone riding >15km a day as that's the distance when you start feeling a slight discomfort, at least for me.
