Cycling Etiquette, Cycling shorts

[Fnaar]

I wear nothing underneath but wash the area religiously and apply petroleum jelly for longer rides.

Is that kind of washing in a cross formation?
I wore undies under my cycling gear for a number of years, and now do without. It is a bit more comfy, but then I never had any chaffing probs anyway

Command + cycling shorts + a pair of baggy (ish) football shorts over the top for me.

Commando or i get serious chaving, in winter i wear a pair of leggings over the top of the shorts.And hate sitting in a soggy pair all day at work.

You get accosted by bands of tattooed youths in dressed head to foot in mock Burberry check clothing? Just because you wear underpants? May I suggest relocating from where you live to somewhere nicer?

Looks like Commando is the way to go, with a pair of baggy shorts over the top.
At least until i loose some weight, as i said to the LBS chappy I wont be wearing them on their own unless they can supply a wide load sticker...

one stange thig though, since ive been cycling, although getting fitter and getting an inproved recovery time, I seem to be putting on weight , not loosing it.....why?....Why?...Why?

Muscle !

Don't worry about your weight, it's your shape that matters - try measuring your waist and watch that come down ?

I used to go commando all of the time, 24/7, until it suddenly occcurred to me

'What if I have a wet fart??'.

Boxerbreifs for me now.

I have no cycling shorts, but if I did, I'd still wear something underneath like a pair of leggings or similar (I feel the cold easily you sssssee).

Ive put on a stone since last year when I took it back up. I was very thin, but now my legs are very muscular and strong.

All you have to do now is take up rowing so that your muscular legs can be complemented by a stronger upper body!

Or something like.

Anyone know why the logo on Endura liners is reflective

It's a bit like having a reflective CK logo on your Y fronts!

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

I beleive it's a way of secretly communicating with others so that they know you are a Dogger and mean business!!
You need to jiggle about a bit using a form of Morse Code with it. Only other Doggers will know this.

Sorry, I'll get me coat.

...Either that or I had one VERY bizzarre dream last night!!
