I tend to avoid changing into my works clothes for a little while after I show up.

That was the day I got stopped by the hour long funeral procession. I tried going commando after that, which is very hard in regular cotton shorts because it just creates more sweat lines.
I say we should all just rid around naked. Maybe cagers would pay more attention to us

a) conjured up a bevy of wild, not entirely unpleasant scenes.
b) made me want to move to the hot and steamy south.
c) nearly inspired me to write things that would insure this thread gets moved to Foo.
d) all of the above.
OK, I'll shut up now.

I must be the only guy here who actually goes against the grain.
Off the bike I wear boxers, boxer briefs, or tighty whities.
On the bike, I wear tighty whities under my bibs and shorts. Been riding for 11 years, average 100-200 miles a week on the road, occasional centuries (and hopefully a double century soon), 30-50 a week on the MTB, and I've never once had a problem or been in discomfort. Maybe I'm missing out on absolute paradise if I'd go commando, but why fix it if it's not broken.

Recall one time during lunch. A lab tech sit on my lap; just fooling around..She was sort of a cad..But fun...Did have an interest in her and was unmarried at the time..Good thing cyclists stink..Would not want her to sit on my lap in tights.

I was debating this very question because I am thinking of starting to wear bike shorts with chamois. I guess I will have to give in to the overwhelming peer pressure and go commando. After all I wouldn't want "horrible, bleeding, infected saddle sores".

I didn't know this many people wore cycling shorts to commute in. I put "tighty whities," although I do not wear white ones,(see this thread,) because I generally wear the clothes I'm going to work in. Either my commute would have to be 50+ miles or I would have to work as a messenger for me to need cycling shorts, or maybe I have a super-tough crotch.

I usually wear tighty briefs under loose pants or shorts if I'm going to work and don't plan to shower there. I have cycling underwear, lycra with chamois, that I can wear if I do plan to shower, but I change out of those to work...they don't look too good with dress pants as the chamois tends to bulge out at the rear. I usually wear baggy mtn bike shorts with a lycra and chamois liner on non-work rides.
The only times I've developed irritation or dermatologic problems is from wearing cotton briefs under snug denim jeans.

Not so hot fer guys. The tubes that connect your balls to you body can 'loop' or roll over.
Bad news. Tights right.
Sorry, a specific topic.Light breathable close, then padding.
I have more to say...butt decline.

Doh! That happened to a friend of mine once. He said it felt like someone was kicking him in the balls... over and over and over and over until he made it to the doctor and got it corrected.
