With summer upon us, there's no denying that shorts are the ideal choice piece to beat the heat. However, when it comes to your summer commutes, you're either faced with kook'ing it around town in your full kit, going completely Fred in bib shorts and a T-shirt, or succumbing to the discomfort of your everyday shorts.
