and it all feels a bit..... dirty :?

I feel far too much like a roadie! fortunately i'll be wearing baggies over them but damn they feel weird.

I only want them so I don't get the worlds biggest wedgie, but how long till I get used to them?


flipin ekk... i'll be buying a fixie and shaving my legs next :cry:

    What did you get in the end :?:
  • Shorts made from lycra :lol:

    nothing special, only spent £11!

    The fit is rather nice though, no saggy bit or bits that seem to ride up :)

  • Lycra is fine under baggies. I do it and I can sleep at night.

    HOWEVER. If you wear it raw, you should do the honourable thing afterwards and take your life.

    unpadded ones? What's the point?
    If you just want some shorts to keep your tacke in place, just get some normal boxers with lycra in them, they keep you snug and out of the way all day.
  • because i already ride in lycra boxers!

    The lycra shorts (basically the same as the boxers tbh) are longer and have better elastic around the leg hole to stop them riding up :)

    yeah lycra as an underlayer is fine, i recommend it, it makes me feel dirty but comfortable. A bit like wearing womens lingerie to work

    Gaz, what's wrong with wearing women's underwear to work? Women do it all the time.

    Oh, and for god's sake check your PM! :lol:
