Urban Baggy with Road Lycra + Pad underneath?

Hi.

I've just noticed I've ripped through the lightweight slightly baggy plain beach style shorts that I've been using for the last 5+ years (almost daily since October), and looking for a replacement, primarily to keep the wind off, and to keep my modesty when off the bike walking around the office area until I can get changed.

My intention is to try and find a new set of urban cycling baggies (yes, brake a rule, sod it) to wear over my existing lycra style shorts with pads in the days that I don't use the provided liner, if I can find some in my size :roll:

Does anyone else do this? what's your experience of using baggies over "normal" lycra - aka using the lycra shorts as a base layer.

I've never got on with bibs due to my size/proportions, and can't justify spending out for 4 more baggy liners if I can help it, allowing me to maintain my single weekly cycling stuff wash.

The difference between liners and Lycra padded shorts is minimal, I only use Lycra shorts under my baggies, no issue.

I've still got a pair of Endura Humvee 3/4 shorts knocking about from ~2009, that came with clip-in padded lycra shorts. No idea if they are still made, but mine have lasted well, I often wear the shorts as casual wear.
