INDOOR WOMEN'S CYCLING APPAREL
Indoor cycling is a fast-paced, high-intensity, and sweaty activity, making the need for moisture-wicking, breathable fabric technology even more important. Plus, when you're pumping and pedaling in the saddle without the breeze or scenery to distract you, comfort is key. Even a small amount of saddle pain can be enough to derail your focus, and ruin the ride.
Machines For Freedom Indoor Cycling apparel is designed from the ground up for women who ride. Featuring an ergonomically-designed chamois, the padded cycling shorts provide protection from friction, chafing, and uncomfortable pressure.

How should padded cycling shorts fit?
We call them Spanx for the bike for a reason! Padded shorts should fit like a second skin, and it's totally OK if you have a dance to pull them on in the morning. A proper fit along with Machines' super compressive fabric ensures that nothing moves or shifts around while on the bike or Peloton. Shifting, slipping, and sliding of clothing or the cycling pad itself is the #1 reason for chafing or discomfort while cycling. If your shorts feel "painted on," they'll lock that chamois into place and create a smooth and comfy ride!
Like Beyoncé said, "If you don't jump to put jeans on, Baby you don't feel my pain."
Should I be wearing padded cycling shorts?
cycling saddle pain, solved!
Have you ever had a sore bum after spin class? Sit bone pain from cycling? Wonder how folks are riding their Peloton or spin bike without pain?
Machines For Freedom padded cycling shorts include an ergonomically designed chamois (pronounced sham-ee) which is designed to protect your sit bones from pressure and friction. Our chamois is designed for women; it's wide enough to provide the most protection, and includes bacteriostatic carbon threading to prevent infection (check out those diagonal lines throughout the pad, those are the carbon threads!). It also features ultra high density ischiatic inserts and pelvic track guaranteed to make you more comfortable and reduce cycling saddle pain.
That's right! All of our padded cycling shorts and bottoms are covered by our Happiness Guarantee! Ride in them for 30 days and if they don't make your indoor ride more comfortable, send them back for a full refund or exchange for a different size. No questions asked!
Keep in mind: On a proper fitting bike, sit bones should be the main point of contact with your saddle. If you are getting most of your pain in the soft tissue towards the front of your saddle, consider changing the angle of the bike seat. That can make a huge difference in ensuring your sit bones are holding the majority of your body weight.
