athletic supporters all day long. Any advice would be appreciated. thanks.
1. Why is it too uncomfortable? Perhaps you are doing it wrong. I can ride for 30 miles or so without padded shorts and no discomfort. You may need a better fit.

2. How hard is it to dress for riding? Doesn't it just involve changing your pants? Maybe your shirt, and put on some gloves if you like. It can't take longer than 10 minutes, tops.
