Bikes: Diamond Back Sorrento (Converted to commuter) and a fixed gear from unknown origins (the only thing I know about it is the saddle is Origin 8, everything else is a mystery.)

I have never thought of this before, but I am doing it tomorrow. I love this idea.

I did ride in ***less chaps once, but in my defense I did win the bet, and that allowed me to buy my fancy Brooks saddle, which I have not ridden while wearing the chaps.

I have cycle clothing but this is while I am commuting to work/school/etc.

I find the effect is enough to notice it. Even more noticeable when wearing cycling shorts underneath. I wear the cycle shorts under regular shorts on my way to work. I dont wanto to wear just the cs because I think I would have a hard time getting people to take a pedicab ride with me while wearing them.

If one were to "insist" on doing this, it'd be a nice courtesy to make the undies and the outies match in color. Of course, some people like to flaunt. In San Francisco you may get a cheer! In Raleigh though, the cops would not be amused.

Be careful in San Francisco!... Once while staying with hippy/deadhead friends there I washed my clothes, hung them to dry and the next day both my pairs of underwear had "mysteriously" disappeared

I dunno, they might have a laugh, but I think they would still arrest you!

I don't have anything to add. I just wanted my name associated with this thread when future generations Google the word "Stupid."
