I can't unsee Amazon's inside out cycling short images - but should you consider buying some this Cyber Monday?

There's something slightly disturbing about the way some Amazon retailers display their Lycra wears.

It's no surprise that one of the retailers offering the most in the way of deals this weekend is Amazon. Naturally, we've happily been helping Jeff Bezos save up for new spaceships by highlighting some of the best cycling offers Amazon have on the go on our Cyber Monday bike deals page.

This means we've had to look at a lot of pages on Amazon which in turn means we've been exposed to some - to my mind at least - curious, if not downright disturbing, imagery.

Finally, says the blurb for Sportneers, a pair of cycling shorts you can actually feel comfortable in. I mean, I'm pretty sure this has been done before but comfortable shorts for less than $11/£11 seems like a good deal.

Got to admit, I'm getting REALLY mixed messages from the title for the Ohohu cycling shorts. Breathable, yes. 4D padding  - sure. Christmas decorations clearance. I'm sorry?

Flat stitch seams, moisture transfer function, a Coolmax pad and 4.5 stars from over a hundred reviews for the Baleaf shorts.
