Should you wear underwear while cycling?
Rule #1 – you do NOT wear your underwear under cycling shorts. Although cycling shorts go a long way on their own to enhancing the comfort of your ride, applying a cream (such as Paceline Products’ Chamois Butt’R) to the inside of the chamois can further help to reduce friction and chafing during especially long rides.
Should you wear underwear with padded bike shorts?
Padded cycling shorts can help make your ride much more comfortable, but should you wear underwear underneath them? The short answer is no – you do not wear underwear or knickers under padded bike shorts. The pad is designed to sit next to the skin.

How do you pee in bib shorts?
Simply squat low to the ground (hidden from sight, of course), and pull one leg of your shorts up and over to the side, getting your chamois out of the way before you let it go. This method is probably the messiest/most likely to end with pee on your shoes, but it works in any shorts.

Do you wear rain pants when riding a bike?
Rain Pants – I actually hate wearing rain pants when riding my bike because I get all hot and sweaty and the pants make so much noise while I’m riding, but I will wear the pants if the storm gets bad enough. I would recommend having them even if you don’t think you’ll ever wear them.
What do you wear over your bike shorts?
Because of this, I usually wear a pair of thin athletic shorts over my bike shorts. This allows me to look a little more normal when both on my bike and when walking around.
