Unpadded cycling tights over regular bike shorts. Oftentimes I won't wear the tights on the ride home. I have several pair of tights for the various temperature ranges. The tights don't have to be washed each time but the shorts do. The tights are only for temps < 50F or so. I tried some more mainstream wear but just find the tights more comfortable. I plan to get some legwarmers this fall to see how those work for brisk mornings. My commute is over an hour each way.
