Bike shorts are a bit of a controversial trend. While there’s no denying they’re comfortable, how flattering they are is still up for debate.

The wearability of bike shorts beyond your own living room may make you pause before spending a lot of money on a pair, but it shouldn’t stop you from making a beeline over to J.Crew to grab this Bike short in Signature flex while it’s on sale for just $8. Yes, you read that correctly. These soft and stretchy bike shorts that were originally nearly $50 are now just $8 with code SHOPNOW at checkout.

J.Crew shoppers of all ages and sizes rave about these amazing bike shorts. They have 4.6 out of 5 stars and lots of positive reviews.

“Literally the perfect bike shorts,” one shopper wrote in their review. “I have a butt and thighs and these are so freaking forgiving and wonderful and slimming. I highly recommend these (I purchased small- which is my normal size). You won’t be disappointed – wonderful, comfy, and slimming!!”

Another shopper commented, “All right, these are amazing. I bought my usual size XS (I am 5’4″ and weigh 110). Perfect, perfect fit! Like a glove, not a sausage. They don’t squeeze your thighs (you know that look…shudder).”

If it helps sway you at all, I just purchased four pairs of these J.Crew bike shorts myself. I love J.Crew leggings because they never go sheer or see-through, and these bike shorts are made from the same material. I can’t wait to wear mine around the house and outside with longer tops and tunics this spring and summer. I suspect you’ll feel the same once you experience how incredible these bike shorts are for yourself.
