I've been birdwatching at 5 degree windchill, so I finally layered one thing too many under my bike shorts (honest, it worked fine for a while).

Having felt so yucky last ride, I took advantage of today's warmth to try bike shorts with no undies. Damn, I felt great. I really thought being a casual biker with no great love for laundry I wouldn't need to do this. And prior to the multiple layering I wasn't truly uncomfortable. However, I've now decided it might be worth buying the extra bike shorts and doing the extra laundry.

Serious bikers know all about this; I'm mentioning it for the benefit of people like me who thought "Do WHAT?" about biking with nothing under the shorts. It really is worth a try.
