Spandex biker shorts: the new summer fad?

If there's one style mishap that should never, ever be resurrected, it's biker shorts. The ultra-tight spandex look is great for when you're riding in the Tour de France, but is shocking and wrong on random people walking down the street.

Nevertheless, they appear to making a comeback.

According to Catwalk Queen, these are the new, shorter version of leggings, created for the hot summer weather. But don't be fooled -- even though leggings were exceptionally trendy all winter long, you will look like an insane person if you make these spandex eyesores a prominent part of your summer wardrobe.

That said, there's plenty of people that disagree with me on this -- most notably Top Shop, American Apparel, and Oasis. All three stores have versions of the shorts available on their websites.
