Venture Bike Short (Relaxed Fit) w. Liner

Q: Does the Venture Bike Short (Relaxed Fit) come with a padded liner?

Yes. The Venture Bike Short (Relaxed Fit) comes with Terry&#39;s Universal liner, an unattached liner with an Urban chamois that you wear inside the short. That means you can ride in it as sold, and because the liner is separate you can also swap in a liner you already prefer. If you want a trimmer cut through the hip and thigh, look at the Venture Bike Short Regular w. Liner instead.

Description

When not in action on your bike, the Venture gracefully shifts into a great hiking, pickleball-playing, international travel short. Years of fit refinement on other predecessors led us here. It’s always tricky with a fitted waist and woven fabric but we’ve engineered a new adjustment system, applied Terry shaping to accommodate a cyclist’s unique muscle structure, finessed the length and gave this relaxed version additional room through the hip and thigh. Next, we loaded it up with nicely organized pockets and added a full gusset through the crotch to avoid seam chafing.

Comes with our Universal liner for all around versatility.

This shirt has a very

"This shirt has a very odd fit…"

— J.M. J. (3/5)

Runs large and not enough in stock

"These shorts had great promise. Good design and fabric. But they run very big. Wanted to exchange for a smaller size and they are already out of stock."

— Laurie A. (4/5)

Better waist, but lost a pocket

"I've been a loyal fan of the relaxed Metro short for years, but these have some new updates that are good. Love the waist with the side clinches on the Venture. Makes it easier to fit my hips and my waist. I don't love that there's only 3 pockets. As a bike tour guide, pockets are my lifeline. The size is spot-on with the old Metros, which means a size up from my high-rise holster favorites. I'll be interested to see how the color fares in the sun. The Metros faded terribly, and I'm hoping for better with these."

— Sarah W. (4/5)

Bike shorts

"These shirts are beautiful and they seemed to be well made. However the sizing it's way off. I bought a large as that is what I usually buy. I could barely button it. I'm not heavy norfat. However, after I took my measurements, I would have had to buy an XXL. Although it would have fit my waist, it would have been super baggy and would probably have looked silly. So unfortunately, I had to return them. Too bad, as they were really wonderful shorts. We're all not 20 and super slim, but that doesn't mean we don't bike"

— Anne S. (3/5)

Nice idea, fit is off

"Sizing chart is off, as others have said. I’m not skinny but I love to ride my bike. Wish the sizing could become a bit more consistent or at least realistic to the “sizing” chart. I found them to be too long as well."

— Kt (3/5)

Good fit

"I bought the venture and metro shorts, both relaxed fit. I basically have a pear type shape. Both fit well, but I liked the fit of the Venture shorts better , although I liked the Metro pockets, on both legs. Kept the Venture shorts though for fit."

— Dawn S. (5/5)

Not for Me but High Quality

"These were too long and too baggy for me; either the length or fit would have been fine on its own but both together was too much. The Liberty Bike Shorts are the perfect solution, IMHO."

— Jessica G. (4/5)

Not what I needed

"I wanted to find a reason to keep these. They were a bit longer than I wanted, the waist was too big despite the elastic, and ultimately I decided to return the shorts because I need better padding than these have in the liner. I wish they would have worked out for me."

— Patricia L. (3/5)

Fantastic shorts

"Love everything about them but wish they were sold without the liner. You only need so many of those."

— Suzanne W. (5/5)

5/5

"As a woman with a small waist and large hips, i loveeee the adjustment system they incorporated with these shorts. I have large thighs. These fit nice! i did the realxed fit and got my normal size (XL) and no complaints. I like the pockets as well!"

— Nicole I. (5/5)

Q&A

Questions & Answers

Does the Venture Bike Short (Relaxed Fit) come with a padded liner?

Yes. The Venture Bike Short (Relaxed Fit) comes with Terry's Universal liner, an unattached liner with an Urban chamois that you wear inside the short. That means you can ride in it as sold, and because the liner is separate you can also swap in a liner you already prefer. If you want a trimmer cut through the hip and thigh, look at the Venture Bike Short Regular w. Liner instead.

Who is the Venture Bike Short (Relaxed Fit) best suited for?

The Venture Bike Short (Relaxed Fit) suits women who want the full function of a cycling short without the fitted cycling-kit look. Its relaxed cut adds room through the hip and thigh, and Terry shaping accommodates a cyclist's muscle structure. Because it transitions easily into hiking, pickleball, and international travel, it earns its place for riders who want one versatile short rather than dedicated cycling-only kit, and it comes with the Universal liner so it's ready to ride as sold.

Can I wear the Venture Bike Short (Relaxed Fit) off the bike?

The Venture Bike Short (Relaxed Fit) is designed to move seamlessly between activities. Its 90% recycled polyester and 10% spandex outer fabric carries a water-resistant finish, and it shifts gracefully into hiking, pickleball, and international travel when you're off the bike. The relaxed, non-kit silhouette means it reads as regular casual wear rather than cycling apparel, so you won't feel the need to change before a coffee stop or errand. It's a genuine one-short solution for riders who value versatility over specialization.

How does the Relaxed Fit differ from the Regular Venture Bike Short?

The Venture Bike Short (Relaxed Fit) adds additional room through the hip and thigh compared with the Regular cut. If you prefer more ease in those areas or find fitted shorts restrictive through the legs, the Relaxed Fit gives you that space while keeping Terry's cyclist-specific shaping. Riders who want a trimmer, closer cut should look at the Venture Bike Short Regular w. Liner instead. Both share the same casual, non-kit aesthetic, so the choice comes down to how much room you want through hip and thigh.

Will the Venture Bike Short (Relaxed Fit) make me look like I'm wearing cycling kit?

No. The Venture Bike Short (Relaxed Fit) is built specifically so you get cycling functionality without the fitted cycling-kit look. Terry engineered a new, low-profile waist adjustment system and applied shaping that accommodates a cyclist's unique muscle structure, so the short flatters without clinging. For women who feel self-conscious in traditional fitted shorts, whether from body image or riding context, this relaxed silhouette lets you ride comfortably while looking like you're simply wearing everyday casual shorts.

How long is the Venture Bike Short (Relaxed Fit)?

The Venture Bike Short (Relaxed Fit) has an 11.5 inch inseam, placing it among Terry's longer baggy shorts. That added length gives more leg coverage than a shorter cut, which many riders prefer for modesty, sun protection, or simply feeling more covered on and off the bike. If you want even more coverage without moving to tights, consider a below-the-knee option like the Vista BTK Bike Knicker, which keeps the same casual aesthetic while extending past the knee.

What storage does the Venture Bike Short (Relaxed Fit) offer?

The Venture Bike Short (Relaxed Fit) includes two front hand pockets and one zippered leg pocket on the left leg, giving you secure, organized storage for keys, phone, and small essentials. The zippered leg pocket is especially useful for items you don't want bouncing out on rough terrain or during off-bike activities like hiking. It also features a full-length crotch gusset for better seam placement through the key zone, which reduces chafing on longer rides and all-day wear.

When should I choose a different short instead of the Venture Bike Short (Relaxed Fit)?

The Venture Bike Short (Relaxed Fit) comes with the Universal liner, so it's ready to ride as sold. It's less ideal if you want a trimmer cut through the hip and thigh, since the relaxed version has additional room there; the Venture Bike Short Regular w. Liner suits you better. And if you decide you want a fitted everyday cycling short, Terry's Actif Bike Short is a natural starting point.
