Who says cycling gear can’t be practical and stylish? These Rapha summer shorts are made from a comfortable lightweight fabric and feature tailored front pleats, pockets front and rear and a subtle reflective detail.
We have it on good authority that the casual fit gives a flattering fit both on and off the bike.
Win a pair of Rapha shorts
We have three pairs of these turn-up shorts to give away – in small (waist 69-73 cm), medium (73-78cm) and large (78-83cm) sizes. If you would like to enter our free draw to win a pair, simply leave a comment below and specify which size you’d like.
Ethical cycle insurance
On the face of it, one cycle insurance policy is much like another, but the devil is the detail. Check your small print for so-called ‘new-for-old’ replacement – many insurers use the term, but if your bicycle is more than a few years old, devalue it severely. This means you are left out of pocket when you come to replace it.
With ETA cycle insurance, however old the bike, if it’s stolen you get enough to buy a new model. Furthermore, every cycle insurance policy you buy from us helps support the work of the ETA Trust, our charity campaigning for a cleaner, safer transport future. Little wonder The Good Shopping Guide has voted us ethical.

Can’t believe I’m a large size on those measurements! Never been large before in anything!! Ralpha must be targeting a slim clientele.
MARK
These would coordinate very nicely with my classic Bianchi for summer cruising………… 🙂
Size: L
Bryn

size: med.

Also in need of the large, think the folk at Rapha need to look at their size scale
Stephen D.
These Rapha shorts and some other “high end” brands have a curious sizing system. I am a classic, scrawny cyclist in build, but even I’m a large!! (My wife laughed!).
(Fine for me, but they must be excluding a significant percentage of the market, which they don’t accommodate).
Paul
I’d love a pair please. RAPHA is such an amazing brand !
(Large size please)
Alan Hendrick
Medium please
Chris Hopkins
They look super, yes please (Medium size for me)
Michael Potter
Largely due to donuts whelling along to often with me, I would also need Large if I win these lovely shorts – and roll on the summer!
William Bramhill
Large please … though your sizing seems very conservative!
Lucy
Yes please! Medium please…
TD
Small please – that would give me the incentive to keep cycling…..To ensure the shorts still fit! 😊
Gordon Pells
I would love a medium pair for my tour of France this summer.
Eric Ludlow
Ye gods! Just worked out that “large” equates to 32-34 inch waist! Still, it’s a good target…. large please😊
Steve
Very stylish! Especially in a large size (please).
Fergus
Classy! I’d like a pair of medium ones.
Raphael
Love Rapha stuff, the design is great and a luxury to have your own name sewed on 😉
Medium if any luck please
Marian
It’d be the only way I can afford such a great garment
Small indeed
Peter Clark
Large. I’m generally a medium in shorts. I’ll practice breathing in
Douglas Milsom
I’m not shy about showing my knees, so I would love to win a large (73-78 cm) pair.
[I would have thought that that size would be called medium…..]
David Curran
I might have to fight for these with my two sons, all three of us would just about fit the medium size, being poor under-fed individuals.
Fred
Is 32” large? Surely not
Karen
Love a large pair please!
K
Richard Scrase
36″ – Large?
Proper job
Rob
I would like size large please, ideally in dark blue or black.
Les Gunbie
Ooh, snazzy … (Large size of course)
Kathy C
Can’t resist possibly winning a free pair of shorts. Sizes seem quite small but will go for medium. Is grey the colour choice? shouldn’t be fussy when they’re free.
Mark B
I guess that makes me a large then.
Gavin
Probably a better cut than the ones I get from ASDA for £12.00. [Large]
Alan Fletcher
Medium for me ideal for a summer evening jaunt and some Pimms ( other drinks are also available ) .
STEVO
Medium for me please, nice prize.
Thanks to ETA for the opportunity.
Bryn Gwyndaf Jones
I’ve just lost 30% off my weight and 11 inches off my waist and need new shorts badly.
Size Large please.
Greg
They’ll fit me!!
Alastair Seagroatt
Ideal for a warm Scottish summer?
Tim Earl
Size large 30 – 32″ ? Oh well, I’m a large then.

Lovely, I’d like a pair in a medium!
Greg
Nice shorts large please
Julian
Pleats are back ?! Looking forward to double breasted jerseys with optional shoulder pads 😊
Steve
Classic style, very nice; They’re also versatile and will look fab on my bike and around town.
Large size would be perfect please.
Craig S
Looks like I’m large too 😮
Not bought anything Rapha yet but my friends are raving about their stuff. Help me get on the ladder ETA? 🙂
Dan
These would be perfect for adding a bit of style to my commute.
Large for me please

Not sure about the sizing either, would expect to need a medium but if the measurements are correct, I would like a pair in the large size please
