Embarrassing....

So I jumped on the bike this morning for the ride into work and immediately noticed the seat felt weird. It felt bumpy like something was sticking out of it. I stopped to have a look and couldn't see anything so carried on and thought I would have a proper look when I arrived at the office.

I carried on as usual, passed a load of nodders etc etc then eventually got to the junction of Jamaica Road and Southwark Park Road and was cycling across when I suddenly felt something move and drop out of the leg of my shorts... I looked back and saw yesterday's boxers lying in the middle of the road behind me... The nodders behind me were all swerving round them...

It suddenly dawned on me what the lump on my saddle had been, I'd whipped off my shorts and undies the day before and jumped in the shower and not taken the time to disentangle them from each other, then I'd simply put the shorts back on this morning with the aforementioned underwear still tangled up inside...

Whoops! Thank god I wasn't wearing the novelty pair....

    Go commando HH! After a couple of rides feeling a bit naked you won't look back (as there will be no errant pants on the road to look at).

    Odd question, do girls go commando under shorts? I told my wife men do, but she can't bring herself to do it. She has some proper padded shorts.

    I usually wear baggies over lycra but as I was going home yesterday via the gym I didn't bother with the lycra so it was boxers and baggies only....

    HH that is not embarrassing, that is frankly astonishing! Weird lump? Weird lump??? You fail to detect something the size of a wadded up pair of boxers in your lycra??

    From the rear you must have resembled a potato smuggler....

    And anyway, boxers under lycra? Ew with a capital Ew...

    Yeah well I was running late and didn't have the time to stop by the side of the road to feel myself up to work out what it was... I didn't wear lycra last night, it was simply baggies over boxers, I was goin to the gym on the way home so left the lycra off

    Well, having riden a few miles, and in the interests of science :oops:, I would say it's about 60:40 in favour of commando.

    Aaah, poor readage on my part, it was the hidden-pachyderm's post that made me think you were wearing lycra. Baggies I can understand (I could smuggle immigrants in my Gore baggies).

    ....but did you go back for them?

    Could be a cunning weapon to use against those taking a cheeky tow?

    They were black so no skids visible...

    Yes I did! Stopped by the side of the road, waited for the traffic to stop and dashed back...

  • It must have looked as though you had crapped your pants to all (including motorists) who saw you. I think this is worse than your first thought OP.

    I thought that was going to be the gist of this thread after the "Don't do it" thread.

    Nearly spat my coffee over the screen reading the first post. I could just see the shock on the fellow cyclists - bit like throwing tacks down at them.

    Is this a new SCR tactic - chucking used undies down to stop the chasers ?
