[ianwoodi]

Whats the best, Your every day underwear or cycling underwear or nothing at all under your shorts I have no problems at the moment with sores but as my rides are getting longer need some advice

Is there a translator in the room?

Lycra cycling shorts/bibs are designed to wear commando.

Lycra cycling shorts/bibs are designed to wear commando.

Perhaps only with the addition of a little chamois cream

If I went commando then I'd be able to keep pedalling but give one of my legs a rest every so often!

 

[Cheddar George]

Commando.

Let it swing

Definitely no pants under your cycling shorts. And clean and dry for me; a daily shower and good soap and hot water wash of the undercarriage to keep bacteria away and prevent spots and boils.

Just the shorts. Vaseline, Sudocrem or similar in tiny quantities for anything over about forty miles.

No team kit.

Shorts must not match top.

Threadless stems are a crime.

Trees on lawns should not have a bed of turfless earth around the trunk.

Tyres with coloured stripes should clash with the colour of the frame.

wear a kilt, traditional style.
watch out for headwinds and drivers averting their eyes.

Let it swing

No way. It's agony when it catches in the chain.

 

[BigonaBianchi]

I never wear underwear ..even on the bike

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

takes a little getting used to, but commando with padded shorts/tights etc.
(what takes more getting used to is one of my winter bib tight sets which also expect commando on the upper as well - I'm female... now leaving my knickers behind is easy to get away with but at 34E, leaving a bra at home is much more erm, interesting )

 

[ianwoodi]

Thanks so i am going commando from now on

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Even I go commando now
