Funny that I should see this today. Last night I raced home from work, threw on my cycling clothes and headed out the door to ride with my husband. We were rushed because we had plans to stop for dinner mid-way and we wanted to beat the dark home.

We did 29 miles (pretty hard, actually) and had a brief dinner stop at ~17 miles.

I got home and felt something strange as I got off the bike. I pulled the waist of my shorts open and looked and sure enough, panties. In my rush, I'd forgotten to take them off. I was amazed that I didn't really notice them at all until the very end! Ride time was only 1:40...but they really didn't get in the way at all.

I'm not going to make a habit of it, but I can now see how people can wear underwear under their chamois shorts when biking.
