I'm not finding any bike shorts that withstand the wrath of chlorine. Does anyone know of any? Alternatively, maybe someone can recommend swim shorts that can be used for biking?

I'm going to start biking to the gym & then biking to work. Not an easy bike ride so hoping for some decent options.

Why not use two pairs of shorts - swim and bike?  Jammers dry out pretty quickly.

x2.  I'm a big fan of the Speedo Endurance line.  I treat mine like crap - lightly rinsed after use, wrapped in a towel and stuffed into my gym bag - but they still last 10x longer than other materials.  I only got rid of the last pair because the stitching finally gave out (though the fabric was still good). 

Just get yourself a pair of these and a good pair of bike shorts. Then, you'll never have to ride with a wet bottom.

I may have to. The issue would be the extra baggage I'd have to carry. Then again, I reckon speedos won't take too much space in my back pockets. 

Oooh, maybe I can speedo all day!
