Roadies in baggies - a Saturday Social short(s) version
Welcome to our baggy but short social media news flash. We're going to focus on Friday, May 13th, which was renamed the Global Day of Baggies by Endura, the Scottish clothing brand well known for its baggy shorts.

We've put together a little snippet into what the day of fun ended up looking like on social media...
Dropping right in with Joe Barnes.
But not everyone having a great time on the new global day of loose shorts was a regular baggies wearer.
Ex-pro road racer Dan Martin fully embraced the chance to have a less aero, more rad outfit and headed out to drop Kenny Ellisonde on some Andorra climbs. If baggies can make you do that, what's there to not like! As you can see below, Martin is having a blast despite the possibly most annoying, but eagerly ignored cycling noise, the creaky bb...
Similarly to Martin, German ex-pro Marcel Kittel also had what looked like a cracking day out. And definitely not taking himself too seriously!
The Global Baggies Day was launched by Endura to have a little fun and it seems like the first iteration did pretty well. But of course, you can never please everyone! But we all know what's comfy.
I don’t get this at all. Nothing would enduce me to wear baggy shorts to cycle in. Lycra all the way for comfort. #globalbaggiesday
