I have started to cycle again after a break lasting many years. I have been riding for a week on short journeys to break myself in gently. I am using a Halfords Apollo Frenzy Mountain bike and a large soft gel saddle (I have a big bum). It feels as though my nuts (testicles) are bouncing up and down as I pedal. Should I be wearing special underwear (boxer shorts at the moment) ? I don't want to wear lycra shorts as I don't really have the figure for those at the moment. Can anyone give me any advice please?

Thanks. :biggrin:

Do you wear loose boxers? or righter ones with a crotch panel, which are more fitted and hold you in place? I'm assuming that you wear the former, as a decent pair of fitted boxers hold you in one place.

I wear the latter, and certainly don't notice myself jangling all over the place as i ride.

I keep everything tightly packaged. Can't imagine getting my nuts and bolts yanked between thigh and saddle!

Too much? :rolleyes:

This will probably sound contradictory but if you "haven't got the figure for lycra" then the best shorts to wear are bibshorts.

I have a gut/paunch/muffintop (pick two of three:wacko:) and have just found the nerve to get bib shorts (as opposed to waist shorts).

The difference is remarkable - no more pulling the waist up over the gut every time I stop at traffic lights. Just be prepared for the laughter the first time your other half sees you wearing them. If you're shy about the look just wear your baggies over the top.

;) Sat on mine once recently, stood up to climb a hill and when I sat down I made my eyes water. Normally they hang down the left side of the saddle, if I get them hanging down the right side it knocks 5mph of my top speed.

another vote for bibshorts for we of the "fuller figure" persuasion. We don't all look like Mr Adonis from the Assos ads, but we can still benefit from wearing the gear. Definitely keeps your nuts nice and gathered (in May or any other time of the year)

no dubious noises about the big gel saddle?

saddle is there to support your bones, not your arse
