whats under your cycle shorts

[gordyfinbar]

Dont mean to sound like a perv but i was wondering what if anything people wear under their cycling shorts. I have been wearing underwear (boxer shorts) but it the seams rub and i find it uncomfortable after 30 or so miles . Would i be better advised to "go Commando"

I always go commando, find it so much more comfortable. Got to wash the shorts each day though.

Commando, unless it's very cold, then winter thermal boxers.

Under my shorts is skin, and sometimes a thin smear of Savlon on any rub points.

nothing clothes wise. did 1 ride in new shoertsa with boxers under and decided commando was the way forward, just liek it was when i was a teenager and cycling .

amazing how much you can forget in the 20 year gap

Commando, which is how they're meant to be worn. A dab of Sudocreme for me for chaffe points.
G'wan, you know you want too ...

Sudocreme, what is that? I wear pants myself, then jeans on top of my shorts.
I'd feel a burke riding just in shorts, my legs are Tippex white!

Orlando Bloom , Johnny Depp or a tefal steam iron deluxe ??

Basil, sudocrem is a nappy rash cream and its brilliant for preventing chafing and easing the soreness later if you do get chafed

Sorry, I can't take this thread seriously.

and will remain that way!

I'm quite impressed how brown my legs have got this year just from half an hour on the bike morning and evening.


Ooh, commando under lycra, but sometimes stick cargo shorts over the top depending on if I am stopping off for a bit en route.

Stopping off for a bit od WHAT en route?

one would have thought the lycra would be coming off if he was stopping for a bit of something.

Sudocreme is nappy rash-cream suitable for sores etc. There are special 'Chamois ointments' available to apply to the nether reagions to reduce chafing during riding, some are mildly anaesthetic. However, Sudocreme is nice and thick, cheap as chips and works a treat, but Savlon, Vaseline, Zinc & Castor oil cream all help add comfort for long days in the saddle, especially when it's really warm like now.
Ditch the jeans, they're dreadful to ride in and you might find that a few rays of sunshine might just sort-out your skin colour (unless albino)!
