Wearing knicks... Do you go commando?
Postby Missy24 » Thu Apr 08, 2010 12:51 pm
I know when I first started I wasn't sure... Now I go commando.
Anyone who doesn't? Why not?

I must admit, that's one of the reasons I wear panties (and sanitary napkins) - in order to reuse the knicks for another ride.moosterbounce wrote:I do when I'm riding outside or for longer rides on the trainer. I don't bother with short trainer rides (30-45 minutes) as I'll get 2 wears out of a set. I hate washing, but don't mind sweaty clothes on day 2 as I can shower afterwards. Has worked fine for me.
As we all know, that area can get quite "funky" after a few hours of sweating, which is the reason for the napkin.

Washing after every ride is so worth it (I just throw it in the shower, soap it up and stamp on it) but I do need to be aware of having multiple pairs on rotation in case they don't dry or something. A damp chamois is definitely not fun.

The only reason I go commando now is that I resented only getting a few hours' wear out of a pair of undies, and having to wash fourteen undies for seven days' worth of wear. So basically it's because I'm lazy and a tightarse.

I have always gone commando and washed knicks after every ride. I just chuck them in the washing machine and they come out looking (and smelling, thankfully) like new.
Putting knicks on to ride home from work that were worn for a 60km bunch ride on the way to work and then stashed in a locker all day was not one of my favourite aspects of my years doing serious roadie kms.
These days I ride to and from work in civvies (including shoes) because it's only 5km.

Nothing more embarrassing than a comfort stop on a quiet country road with NO TREES and just as things get started Murphy's Law says a car will come along. I was once attending to a lengthy call of nature stop while touring and had left my bike (with panniers) just off the side of the road, but I had walked further into the grass, trying to get a semblance of privacy. A passing car slowed, stopped, then backed up to ask if I was alright... I was like "yes thanks, bye now"

Maybe they had a sudden onset of "OMGosh whatever is in my stomach has to come out nooooooooooooooooow, no matter what end it comes out from!". The only thing worse than simultaneous vomiting and diarreah would have to be getting afflicted by it in the middle of nowhere, and having to ride home.vinvin wrote:Okay but I have a serious question. A couple of weeks ago on a fairly quiet semi rural road I drove past a cyclist, I'm pretty sure it was female, judging by tan lines and thigh shape, with pants totally down around the ankles, standing behind a tree but in full view of the road, and bending forward, almost in half. There didn't seem to be anyone else around so it wasn't, er...

Correct, Commando is the only way. If you only have one pair of knicks you are also asking for trouble.bella26 wrote:commando of course! Wearing undies under your knicks is just asking for trouble!!
You don't have one pair of underpants do you
Speak your mind,Those that mind dont matter, Those that matter dont mind!!

He has only done a few classes and the first time he did the class he was wearing jocks (could see them over the top of his shorts) - he obviously thinks a g-string is a cure to being uncomfortable

OK - I am a guy and there is a good reason for that guy doing that. All purely based on human anatomy.

You gotta get out more. You can get G-bangers/thongs for blokes. I've seen them in the more upmarket menswear shops.
