How do you...

joelsim

keep your meat and two veg toasty in the depths of winter?

Surely a pair of tights isn't enough is it?

jds_1981

you could keep them in an oven at a low temperature? Else warm your plate up before-hand?

roger_merriman

on the commute my normal work trousers are warm enough though i'm very hardy and run hot, so i'm not the best to ask really.

Hmm - that's my 1 criticism of Assos padded winter tights. Was told by Assos I should have bought unpadded and worn shorts under. Trying that this winter.

If you ask very kindly, maybe UE's missus will knit you one of these:

Should have got these

At £400 I expect they come with the Assos lady to gently warm your bits for you.

For £400 I'd expect her to do the pedalling too!

Damn - I've just had to go and have a look at her on the Wiggle website.

I'm sure if I keep checking, I'll catch her with her arms down by her side rather than covering the goods,

Unpadded tights over bib shorts worked well for me last year.

Thermal bib tights or thermal tights over padded shorts for me last year - I was always warm enough

asprilla

I wear unpadded shorts over winter padded bib tights.

UndercoverElephant

For a few of the chillier mornings last year I resorted to thermal long-johns under super-roubaix tights. Not uncomfortable and definitely very stylish.

Clever Pun

unpadded winter tights with bib shorts underneath.. toasty

joelsim

I bought a pair of tights and 2 pairs of bib tights, all padded so whatever solution needs to work with them.

MonkeyMonster

normal padded shorts with 3/4 baggies over for the depths of winter. I do own one very old (1994) thermal cannondale longs from when i did some winter riding back home in the scotland - fecking super roasty.

+1. Just running with padded bib tights means you need lots of pairs to keep them fresh and avoid crotch rot. And once the weather warms up you can carry on with the padded shorts, so its cheaper than buying 2 sets.

My balls and willy just contract so far inside my body that I don't have this problem.

Torvid

I used to have padded tights but when I realised they wouldn't work how I wanted I unpicked the padding save throwing them out. Was a tip I picked up off of another forum.

itboffin

I did the shorts plus unpadded bibs, this year ill be sporting spesh roubaux full bibs

I just go for the frozen prawn and stroke it back to life when getting changed once I'm at work.

This. Or, just run it under the hot tap.

Normal work clothes for me, but remembering to do my zip up helps a lot[/u]

You could always just give them a rub every now and then. Stop if necessary, but riding no hands whilst playing with yourself would get you noticed.

joelsim

Just my luck to be doing that whilst cycling past a fatty...
