commuting... bike shorts ... underwear - learning experience.
I commute 12 miles each way by bike to and from work. Its just
wonderful. Of course, the attention deficit guy in me always manages to forget SOMETHING. So, I leave a belt, a pair of shoes, shirts, suits, etc. at work. Today, for the first time, I forgot to bring underwear. So here I am... slathered in chamois butter... panicked. Do I wear my bibs all day long, under my suit? Or do I go commando, and chamois buttr my pants? I tried option A for about 20 minutes. Then I had to pee. You know how when you have to thread your unit up over the bibs, because there's no other way to get the pipe out without getting naked? But then, there's always a bit of back-pressure that has to let off? Yeah... so I got pee all over my shirt. Nice.... Therefore, my conclusion is that no matter how liberally you applied the chamois butter that morning, if you forget to bring underwear, go commando and have your suit drycleaned. |

First of all, WAY too much information. Second, chamois butter for a COMMUTE? Never even occurred to me to use it for my first century a few weeks ago. Third, why not pack a little "just in case" case and leave it in your office. Finally, got a urologist? HAND, BS (no, really) |

"S o r n i" (clip) First of all, WAY too much information. (clip) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I agree. If that foul-up happened to me, I wouldn't tell ANYBODY. (Is there a verbal equivalent of an exhibitionist?) |

Under boundary lubrication conditions, where sliding and vibration occur (such as the posterior to saddle interface), molybdenum disulfide grease is superior to chamois butter. -- Tom Sherman - Earth |

Some days with certain shorts the Bag Balm must be applied...can't say it really feels THAT great though, especially at the *crack* of dawn. hr |

I guess I wouldn't understand, since I never use the stuff myself, but why is it necessary to use chamois buttr [sic] for a 12-mile commute? A commute is not a race. For 12 miles I can see the shorts, since you'll want to change anyway, but you don't need to go the whole 9 yards. When I started riding again, about 10 years ago, and did a hillclimb-commute, I would change into shorts for the long uphill home. But that gets tiresome. These days I certainly don't bother with shorts for the commute, and my standard commuter even has platform pedals so I don't have to bother with cycling shoes. Now, my commute is short, but I still think you are over-doing it. Therefore, my conclusion is that no matter how liberally you applied the chamois butter that morning, if you forget to bring underwear, go commando and have your suit drycleaned. Not a pleasant thought. -- David L. Johnson __o | Accept risk. Accept responsibility. Put a lawyer out of _`\(,_ | business. (_)/ (_) | |
