..Or would it feel like your riding on a rope? I don't have any so I can't test, normal underwear didn't go.
And my riding shorts are worn..any recommends of good quality padded shorts not too pricey?

Why would you ride with "thong" down your pants! 
What you guys call thongs, we call G-Strings.
CHEERS.

This is what a thong is to Aussies.

Uh oh. Underwear Nazi disappears for a little bit and everything falls apart.
Sorry, I don't actually have anything constructive to contribute, but I'm in a goofy mood.

I once rode with someone who wore a g-string/thong under her bike shorts. I did not ask her about the comfort level.

WOW. I've been lurking and posting a bit for a little while here. I hope you all know you have the least funny, lamest joke posts ever and there is way to many of them. Just because you think of something barely clever doesn't mean you should always post it. Some threads are turned unreadable as somebody posts a question and then a couple people start lame-o riffing off each other.
I can not emphasis enough how LAME it is. So frequently lame that any "ha ha this is lame but it will be funny because it's lame" value is destroyed.
WHO CARES that in your stupid country the word means something else? Why the hell would I want to look at a picture of it? It's just so irrelevant and not funny. Ohhhh, cheeky, give this person an award.

But to answer the original question, I wouldn't know, not having ever indulged in butt floss underwear.

As underwear are concerned, we have thongs and we have G-strings. A G-string is basicaly like a string all over, a thong would have a wide patch in the front and string in the back.
The word thong actually referes to; 1: a strip, especially of leather or hide.
It could wrap around a foot to hold a sandal on, around a butt to do... um well I don't know what it does there, or it could bind you to a very old set of downhill snow skis in a system known as a French thong(a 7 foot leather strap that you wrap around your foot/ankle to tie yourself to the ski)

Ok, so since no women have posted that I know of yet, to answer the question, I could only say that this would be totally uncomfortable for me. I say me cause I can't speak for the other girl roadies. But no way do I want something tugging on my butt crack when I'm hammering or getting out of my seat 
. Its hot and sweaty, NO THANKYOU!!! I like free riding myself.

Oh, I still need some company names for shopping for shorts. I wore the insides of the thigh pretty fast on the last ones.

I don't know if the OP was a joke, but it looks like I get to give the first straight answer on this topic. IMO, adding a thong, or G-string, or whatever, would defeat the entire purpose of padded/chamois shorts by adding material down in the nether regions.
Maybe crotchless underwear would work better.
