Pants?

andrew said:

Now this is not an expletive this time.

If it is not too intimate to reveal what do people do whilst cycling, pants wise?

After a long ride cotton ones seem so soggy its like wearing a nappy.

Is there a more comfy solution? Commando is an obvious one.

Depends what and how I'm going to ride.

If it's with the wife and kids, almost anything will do .. If it's a race then full lycra, if I'm
out 'playing' then baggy shorts and 'proper' padded undergarment works well.

I normally wear baggy shorts from Parrot. I think these are really good - they are made of a
quick drying fabric (I think it is Tactel), have pockets and come to just above my knees. As Paul
says, underneath you can wear padded 'shorts liners'. I wear shorts liners, or a pair of lycra
cycling shorts.

Anything more than 40km in the saddle.....Commando...there is no other way.

Not supposed to wear anything underneath lycra cycling shorts (although I don't think you'll get
arrested if you do!).

Non-cotton underpants are available, eg: tinyurl.comae3gOpen ↗ .

If wearing baggy shorts/trousers, you could try padded cycling undershorts, eg. Madison or Ozzo (I
tried Madison's and thought they were awful but plenty of people like them).

See: www.mwdyason.ltd.uk/shop.asp?no_category=15&text_company=UNDERCLOTHES for some undershorts with
and without padding.

Personally I wear me knickers under me shorts as I find it more comfortable. Vernon goes commando
(large weapon - did I say that???) but Nathan is shy and is covered up ;-) Each to what he or she
finds most comfortable I think. With the proviso, of course, that b*bs are abhorrant whether
commando or otherwise.

Outdoor (walking/climbing) shops sell pants made from synthetics which wick sweat better
than cotton.

Actually, he doesn't like b*bs - I have indoctrinated, sorry, trained him well. We mothers are
expert at inducing guilt trips - comes with the job description ;-)

I was indoctrinated to believe that phoning home if out after 11 pm was the right thing to do... But
when in the embrace of a young lady in the tender teens phoning home was the last thing on my mind.
Actually, the subject title was more to do with what was on my mind!

On my recent <yawn> E2E, I wore running shorts under lycra leggings, then Ron Hill bikesters on top.
This was for the first 5 days and was working well apart from a 'scrunching up' effect early on in
each days ride. This soon passed and was only a minor irritant. On day 6 I decided to try without
the running shorts....Ouch! received painful chafing and reverted to running shorts the following
day, no further problems. These are the running shorts that are superlight / almost not there with
their own built in pants. This was for a hundred mile a day ride for 9 consecutive days though, had
to make sure it was as comfortable as possible. Ordinarily quite happy to go commando though ;-)
Cheers, Dave.

Why are bibbed shorts loathed so much?

Because they are foul objects - spawn of satan - objects designed to make the wearers look like
rejects from a Mr Muscle advert, and I just don't like them (mental trauma from seeing a metallic
silver Lycra pair for sale). All entirely objective reasons ;-)

So is wearing them because they feel comfy (and hide my fat stomach) allowed? :-)

I'm a big fan of bibbed shorts, but the Mr. Muscle bits are hidden under T-shirts 'n stuff. Shame I
can't get a thinner pair as I could hide my fat stomach when I go on dates!

I usually wear the ole pants, although something with a "minimal profile"
i.e. not boxers. Although recently of late I feel a little castrated by the devils, so I might
switch to commando.

Er, at the risk of Christ knows what . . . why on earth would a male choose waisted shorts, other
