Bike Shorts - layers?

Hi everyone.. couple of naive silly questions about shorts and cycling:

1. What should be worn under traditional (lycra type) cycling shorts?

2. A friend got me some baggy Kona MTB shorts recently which are really great, but they don't have any padding. Should I wear some standard padded cycling shorts underneath, or am I OK with my trusty heart-patterned boxers? ;-)

Cheers!

    1. I think the roadies swear that you should be commando underneath lycra's.

    2. Padded lycra's are a good idea, but if you feel comfy in boxers, why change?

    I tend to wear a padded lycra short under some baggies (with or without liners). I dont wear any undercackers if wearing this set up. On the commute to work I tend to wear boxers under a lined baggy short. Sometimes wearing boxers you do have to make sure everything is in its right place and the leg of the boxers hasn't rolled up.

    Can't you get cycling boxers with padding?
