Cycling Shorts"},"content":{"rendered":"

If you are new to cycling, there are lots of questions about the clothes you should be wearing. One question many new cyclers have is in regards to their bottom half. Typically, we wear underwear under our shorts. Should you wear them when cycling?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re wearing cycling shorts, you shouldn\u2019t wear underwear. This is because most cycling shorts are built to act as underwear as well as shorts.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are already cycling and not wearing cycling-specific shorts, it\u2019s time to consider them. Let\u2019s take a look at some options for experienced riders and beginners alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Should I Wear Cycling Shorts?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

\"Why<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

When you do a quick search of cycling shorts, a pair of Lycra shorts will most likely pop up. This is the standard, and is probably what a beginner cyclist will buy. Cycling shorts are designed to make your ride as comfortable as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically, the shorts are made with padding called chamois. If you wear underwear, it will cancel out the effect of the materials used to get rid of friction<\/strong> and reduce moisture<\/strong>. The padding also helps to cushion<\/strong> the seat for a smoother ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cycling shorts are tight-fitting and help keep friction at bay. The Lycra and Spandex they are made of help prevent your sweat from becoming an issue. Overall, you should be wearing cycling shorts for any cycling to make the experience more enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Wear Cycling Underwear\/Liners?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

Since cycling shorts are usually built to act as underwear, you shouldn\u2019t be wearing any underwear. Regular underwear will just get in the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you wear regular underwear, such as cotton, it will get in the way of moisture management and make your ride unpleasant. If you absolutely want to wear underwear with the shorts, try cycling liners specifically made for cycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When wearing\u00a0baggy shorts<\/strong>, you\u2019ll probably want to wear padded cycling underwear in place of tight-fitting cycling shorts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
