Embarrasing bike pants question

Do I need a jock or cup under bicycle shorts. If I go naked I get the
David Lee Roth effect -- big time, pardon the pun. Even with a jock ...
Are the pants just too small then?

They're called "pickle pants" for a reason. If you're embarassed put a
sock in there to increase the bulge.

could be or perhaps you just need to get used to them. You can get special
undershorts made from nice wicking material that fit bike shorts nicely
and increase your emotional comfort level.

I've had a guy yell at me (I'm in the southern US) "Does your momma know
you wear them shorts?" from a front porch of a shotgun shack. I took it as
a compliment. :P

So, a jock is not the answer?

Uh, no.

Buying black shorts, and black shorts only helps. Male cyclists should only wear
black shorts and only black shorts. You probably aren't making as proud a
statement as you think, anyway.

Properly fitted black shorts don't present too sharp an outline as it is.

Ron
PS: stick with the black shorts.

So Ron, what color shorts do you recommend?

Gotcha. I think that's the issue. These are bright blue.

Maybe yellow would print more, maybe.

Speaking of bright blue...the League of Michigan Bicyclists annual
poster calendar includes a photo of someone who needs to read the "wear
black" post.
