Answer 5

You don't wear trousers for long distance cycling.  You wear proper cycling shorts.  If it's cold, you can supplement the shorts with tights or knee warmers.  I prefer warmers because they are easy to remove when your body warms up from climbing.

There is a link to my favorites below.  Cycling shorts are like tools -- buy the best you can afford and you'll never regret it.
