I'd much rather forget underpants than trousers. I'd just go commando and be fine with it. But having to work all day in my sweaty lycra - ick.

Why would you wear your cycling shorts under your pants all day? yuk. Do they have inspections to make sure you're wearing underwear?

I normally go sans shoes outside of work or on the bike. As such I leave my work shoes at the office. However twice I have left them in my car for some reason and didn't have them at work. The first time my wife brought them for me. The second time (recently) I just wore my Bontrager SSR shoes at work all day, which was no big deal really.

I have forgotten verious items throughout the years. Usually items like socks, lunch, thermos (a few times I remembered the thermos but forgot the tea bag), underwear, undershirts, and ties. Items that I should have, but I can do without for a day. I always said, at least I have never forgotten my dress shirt or pants. The day that I forgot my pants I sat outside my office thinking about what to do when my boss walked up. I stood up, told him that I would be taking the day off, hopped on my bike, and rode home.

Those are pretty cool how do you like having laces on cycling shoes? how stiff are they? how easy to walk in them are they?

The laces are slightly annoying but the velcro strap keeps them in check. Pretty easy to walk in, almost like normal shoes. The cleats only crunch on outdoor pavement. On indoor smooth floors they are silent.

I'm looking for new shoes at the moment, those look decently ventilated. Do they come in wide widths, or at least not run narrow in their sizing?

Best thing is that I got them during a special club-only event at the LBS for about $40 (60% off)!

I'm a pastor. A couple times I've spaced underwear on Sunday morning and have had to go commando. Keeps the elderly women coming back.
This has been an odd thread, bouncing around from homeless boys to the question of what constitutes choice and, as always, statements that others are free to do whatever, but they're stupid and unenlightened if they do so.

This made me laugh a little.....just because I can't remember the last time I have used a comb or brush. Am I alone in just combing my hair with my fingers?
