The shorts that end the "I'm not wearing that" negotiation. 💛
RARR girls bike shorts are the do-everything basics that live in high rotation — under school dresses, over leotards, at dance, at gymnastics, at sport, and for a full day of running around being a kid. Soft, stretchy and made to stay put, so there's no tugging, no riding up and no fussing halfway through the day.
Every pair is Australian made — cut and sewn at our own factory in Hallam, south east Melbourne — in breathable fabric with a flat waistband that won't dig in. We make our kids bike shorts the same way we make our adult range, because kids deserve gear that actually performs, not just gear that looks cute on the hanger.

Girls Bike Shorts FAQs
Are RARR girls bike shorts made in Australia?
Yes. Our whole youth range is Australian made — cut and sewn at our own factory in Hallam, south east Melbourne.
What are girls bike shorts good for?
Everyday wear, dance, gymnastics, cheer, sport and playtime — plus layering under dresses and skirts so they can move however they like without thinking about it.
Can they be worn under school dresses?
Absolutely, and it's one of the most popular reasons people buy them. The flat waistband sits comfortably under a uniform and the leg stays put through a full school day.
How should girls bike shorts fit?
Comfortably snug, with a soft waistband that stays put without digging in. They should feel like a second skin, not a squeeze.
My child is between sizes — should I size up?
Generally yes, especially if they're growing quickly. There's plenty of stretch, so a slightly larger size still fits properly and lasts a good deal longer.
Will they hold up to dance and gymnastics?
Yes. Durable high-stretch fabric built to survive flips, routines and repeat washing — and easy care, because nobody needs another delicate item in the laundry.
How do I wash them to keep the sparkle?
Cold wash, inside out, no fabric softener, and hang to dry out of direct sun. Both the sparkle and the prints last far longer that way.
Can we try them on in store?
Yes — come and see us at the Hallam studio. Kids' fit is much easier to judge in person, and you can watch how it moves before you commit.
