I never thought about the crash benefits of wearing the second layer, but it makes sense. I am a fencer (with a big interest in bikes!), and we wear a special layer that is required called a plastron underneath the jacket. It seems like an inconsequential garment, but it actually causes the impact of the opponent's weapon to glance off the chest a bit if they hit you hard as the jacket layer slides over the plastron worn beneath.

Washing kit! On multi-day cycling holidays/events I wash my kit when I get back to the hotel by not taking it off and for the first few minutes in the shower I shower in my kit (btw: shampoo is a good degreaser and deep cleanser). I undress in the shower, work the chamois and let the power of the water from the shower rinse my kit easily and quickly. (Then, of course, I shower myself). Room mates laugh on the first day yet by the 3rd day some are doing the same!

Keeping mine! Otherwise my junk wanders around the shorts and it’s uncomfortable and unsettling - I don’t want to end up with a permanent kink in the old gentleman sausage or chafes up it. Decent lightweight thong keeps everything down there in its right place without bunching up or stopping cycle shorts doing most of the wicking and absorbing of sweat they’re supposed to. Also if I ride to work and have a shower when I get there, it’s then far nicer at home time putting on the mornings sweaty shorts over the fresh pants I put on after the shower and that they at least had some layer between them earlier. I definitely don’t recommend “big” pants or buying some sequin or novelty “sexy” thong or one that’s too tight, but a decent proper comfortable properly-fitting one (like hom plume or Doreanse aire ones) have never caused me any issues and only made it more comfortable to ride long distances. The only downside is some of my friends think I’m a bit weird, but then they thought that already, regardless what pants I wear. 🤣

After over 30 years of cycling I've rediscovered the warmth of wool. I found a light-weight merino wool sweater at a thrift store that I wear under my wool jersey (also found at a thrift store). This is perfect for cool days. When it is a bit colder, I also have a sleeveless alpaca undershirt and a heavy hand-knit wool jersey I knit myself. Wool doesn't hold odors, keeps the wind out and is still warm when wet. Plus wool breathes and your sweat evaporates. As for shoe covers, I used my existing covers as a pattern and made a pair of wool shoe covers from a felted (shrunk on purpose) sweater. Now these really cut the wind and allow the sweat from my feet to evaporate. I've worn all the high tech, wicking, wind proof, rain proof stuff over the years and have to say going back to wool for the winter is the best.

If you're foaming on the route, this means not only that you haven't rinsed your kit well enough; it also means you have used to much detergent. When washing, there should be only a fine foamy layer on the water, once you've started. If you've got a lot of foam, you've used to much detergent. This is a real hassle when hand washing - when machine washing, to much foam can actually reduce the cleaning performance!

GCN are obsessed with our undergarments. There are conditions in which underwear are helpful under cycle shorts. As a 40-year commuter who cycles 15 mi. each way to work, rain or shine, winter or summer, a light nylon layer amidships can sometimes provide a little extra warmth, especially when older cycle shorts come up in the rotation.

I also use chamois cream and a fizik saddle. I try doing at least a couple of long rides of 3-4 hours each fortnight, plus 3 1-2 hour training sessions each week and commute to work when possible, rides are way more comfortable and never experience chafing again. Commando is definitely the way to go, especially if you are starting out in cycling.

Trouble is, and take this from someone who is not bragging but just stating the truth, that that is fine for most people... But when you have crown jewels to be proud of, if you don't have additional support you can find yourself sitting on your crown jewels that can be very painful. As a result I do wear underwear, but proper sports underwear from Runderwear... Made in a way that gives you additional support and control, saves you from sitting on your crown jewels, and avoids sweat and pain! On the other hand, if you are not packing in that area you have nothing to worry about!

I just stumbled across this video, I have been riding for over 40 years, and while some of the tips I have already incorporated, the underwear one is interesting. But, I HAVE to wear underweat, it's a comfort issue for me... And I can't do tight clothing. I generally wear a loose t-shirt or muscle top. But what is it with fingerless gloves? When I was a kid I'd lose blood circulation on the tips of my fingers!! I have new full ones now including nice winter gloves. But great video all round

I find the no-underwear advice overrated. It would be more accurate to say you don’t need to wear underwear as opposed to “you need to go commando” under padded bike shorts. I always wear light breathable merino boxers underneath. Even before I converted entirely to merino underwear, I’d wear cotton boxers under my cycling shorts. I’ve never felt any bunching or chafing (although I can grant that cotton is not a good idea for reasons unrelated to chafing, and loose cotton does crumple some underneath but imperceptibly so). There is nothing else holding underwear and there’s little room for underwear to move inside snug fitting cycling shorts, so I’m hard pressed to imagine how the fabric can move inside independently to chafe against your thighs. If anything, it’s the cycling shorts, especially the long hems that are likely to move up and down against the thighs, but the undie itself is largely suspended in place. Wearing undies also means I need to wash cycling shorts less often (but undies need to be washed frequently irrespective of whether or not you wear them while cycling). Finally, I’d just feel funny not having my usual undie fabric against my crotch, so if I’m wearing anything at all, I’m wearing undies. (My) Bottomline: Underwear inside bike shorts are like tubes inside tires that don’t rub laterally against the rim, not repeatedly at least, because all three move together.

I've been mountain biking for over 16 years and have always worn boxer briefs and never had a chafing issue. I don't own any of those fancy cycling clothes because I have plenty of warm clothing on below freezing days. (Yes I have been in -10° weather on a bicycle. It's my only source of transportation.) I do have thermal gloves and they work amazing. And I always wear a helmet because I'm an epileptic.

One serious question I never thought to ask as a casual cyclist. Is it perfectly fine to wear padded cycling shorts, then regular pants (sweatpants/shorts/tracksuit pants) over them? Or should I just have a padded saddle and regular pants and underwear on? Possibly both padded? I am a 123kg, 198cm guy after all.

Sometimes, I wear padding cycling shorts with regular shorts over the top. Never any issues I wouldn't recommend padded seats ever. Padded shorts with padded seats are the absolute worst. You would think it would be twice as comfortable, but it's just not

Does being crouched give you shoulder pain? I ride my bike to work, so while I'm semi crouched, my head is up. And the right shoulder is painful, down to the elbow and between the shoulder blades.

I guess I've been doing it all wrong. I just wear normal sweat pants and t-shirt... and I wear underwear also. I've never had a problem. I only do 45 minutes a day though (unless it is raining) and I don't compete or anything like that. I'm more interested in the exercise so a little wind drag is actually welcomed.

4:50 - Substitute underwear IS possible in winter. As I also single scull, I use my dual-layer summer rowing shorts under my cycle leggings. There is no seam rub in critical areas and sweat is not a concern. Rowing shorts from Crewroom or Godfrey.co.uk will do the trick.

Video recommends gloves, then shows descending without them. Another value in gloves is brushing debris from your tires. Lightweight jackets are useful in so many more situations ... early morning summer starts, coffee stops, descents, ...

I have always worn underwear and never had any problem, I always thought it was a joke about not wearing any. I have done 10 everests, one a 100 hour triple, and a 600km ride, and all wearing underwear ! Not the slightest bit of chaffing. I am tempted however to try riding with no underwear just to see what its like.

I don’t have chafing (except for very occasionally on consecutive long rides in hot, humid Japanese summers) but surely it bunches up, doesn’t it? That drives me mental when I am commuting. I wear shorts over my cycling shorts as I work in a private girls’ school and don’t want them all laughing their arses off seeing me in my cycling shorts.

Wicking underwear is usually some polyester blend. These materials are insulators, but they keep you cool in hot weather by wicking sweat to the outside where it evaporates taking heat with it.

I have done many thousand mile plus trips with more than 100 miles of riding per day and done so with cotton jocky shorts under my bicycling shorts. My fellow rider went commando with no underwear. He would frequently get saddle sores as there would be a bacteria build-up with the chamois in the shorts. My cotton underwear goes into the hot wash with a little bit of bleach which is not something I can do with my bicycle shorts with the chamois liner.

It may be my bike's saddle or the fact that I am not 5 years old, but my experience is that I need some kind of padding when I ride. A jock strap, " support " briefs or boxers are great for my man parts, but at some point my buttocks get sore. I once tried " support " briefs and another time " bike shorts " under regular walking shorts...what's the point? Most comfortable? Shorts with chamois padding in the crotch/butt area. BTW, I have found that I also need some kind of gloves every time that I ride.
