Where can I find cycling/bike shorts in colors other than black?
I have spandex cycling shorts in black, and one in blue... but can never find them in other colors. I'd like some in red, orange, yellow, white, etc... and others with various designs and patterns. The stores I go to only sell black, black, and more black. Even Pearl Izumi's website only sells black cycling shorts. But where can I find cycling shorts in a variety of colors -- either stores or websites?

Can you wear cycling/biking short underneath regular shorts?
I plan on competing in an iron-distance triathlon in a couple of months but prefer not to wear tight bike shorts. Are there cyclists out there that wear them underneath regular athletic shorts? Are their any drawbacks or possible complications I may be overlooking? I would consider buying mountain biking shorts as they are loose, and in my opinion cooler looking, but would love the option of wearing form fitting biking shorts underneath my normal gym/cargo shorts. Any suggestions?...Thanks for reading.
