Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

We've now come full circle.

With hot dogs we're back to ass holes and lips.

You don't know what you're missing - ketchup, onions and relish. The only possible thing better is chili sauce and onions

I hear ya, but he just plain thinks ketchup in hotdogs is more comfortable.

For shame, for shame.

But the mustard versus ketchup debate will rage on. Just like Ginger versus Mary Ann.

I fillet my hotdogs, fry them until they are all curled up, then pile on the sauerkraut and mustard.

And everyone knows ketchup goes on meatloaf, not hotdogs.

I have some bicycling shorts and tights and wear them on all my rides. But do I really need to if I"m only doing an hour or 2? I do it because I'd have to wear some type of shorts anyway so why not? Also, what about in the winter? People are talking about wearing long underwear under their tights. Why not the same situation there?

I am good with bibs and kneewarmers down to about 45F. Below that and down to 30F or so, I will typically wear bibs with generic running tights OVER THE TOP OF THE BIBS. (Below that? I don't know. 28F is about as cold as it ever gets here. See the Winter forum for more information.)

He seems very concerned about his balls and possibly butt sweat.

It can happen. You don't get the same ventilation/evaporative cooling when running, as you do from moving at a good clip on a bike. Sweat doesn't evaporate as quickly no matter what material you're wearing. In really hot weather, I'd often finish a run holding whatever shirt I started out wearing, in my hand. To make matters worse, many of us back then (we're talking late 70s/early 80s) trained in whatever cotton T-shirts we won at races.

Even my track club singlet could stick to me. Back then, there was a Kramer product called Skin Lube that we used. Green paste in a pound jar. My singlet had permanent green stains over my nipples.

To be honest you sound more concerned about his balls and butt than he does. There is nothing about what you quoted that says anything about hygiene.

Are those that wear underwear under their bibs more likely to wave?

Wow.....this thing is still going? You KNOW it's off-season here in the 41 if this is going on.

FWIW, I raced that crit last night for all it was worth. After about 20 minutes of 95% effort it's hard to say I felt any different but a couple differences I noticed.

1.) Cooler to start. Definitely a nice breeze to cool off the twig & berries before working up some body heat

2.) More in touch with what's going on down there. If anything moves....you know it.

Aside from that, if I'm being totally honest, not much else. I'd say I'll continue going commando cuz it didn't seem to make enough of a difference & I'm sure I can save a few grams, right? (WW's unite)

Last night was about 30 miles total, 17 of which was gut busting, thigh burning crit racing but the buns still burn after a while. It's just a deeper tissue burn from tightening wrenching the core to produce as much power whilst on the saddle as possible.

Next up will be to test for endurance. I'll do a 50-60 mile jaunt "commando" and we'll see.

Hygene? I thought the issue was chafing. If you have a thinner, looser inner layer of fabric, it will tend to bunch and eventually chafe. But I suppose if a guy's tighty whities (like the OP's, perhaps) are sufficiently snug, elastic and compatible with whatever outerwear shorts he has, it wouldn't be an issue. And also, I don't think it's an issue if one is riding for less than an hour and doesn't move around too much.
