compress the legs, which can help combat muscular fatigue; do not get caught up in the bike chain or other parts of the bike; reduce the weight of a rider's clothing (compared to wearing denim, gym shorts or baggy shorts); and; improve comfort during long rides with extra padding in the seat area (called the cycling pad).
From a mechanical viewpoint, up to 99% of the mechanical energy delivered by the rider into the pedals is transmitted to the wheels (clean, lubricated new chain at 400 W), although the use of gearing mechanisms reduces this by 1–7% (clean, well-lubricated derailleurs and a straight chainline), 4–12% (chain with 3-speed hubs), or 10–20% (shaft drive with 3-speed hubs).
