OK...........I am a newbie to road cycling and got cheap padded shorts from Performance. I am riding 10-12 miles 3-4x per week getting ready for the Tour de Cure which is 31 miles. I am having mild discomfort towards the end of my ride...........IS THAT NORMAL? I did use ADE ointment last time and it didn't seem to make a difference. I got to thinking and wondering about what to try next. Here is a dumb question............AM I SUPPOSED TO WEAR UNDIES UNDER MY CYCLING SHORTS or go COMMANDO? You are laughing with me not at me......LOL

Some people do wear undies underneat, but for me it's unbearable. So commando.

+1 on commando. I don't want any seams between me and my saddle.

+1000 on commando! I have enough issues with saddles (less now with my new one) that I don't want them complicated by seams and other stuff.
