Question about Riding Shorts, etc. :-)
I have a question about when wearing Bike Riding shorts (Yes the
padded Lycra type) It's sort of a sensitive question posed at us male riders, but a thought came to me while riding recently, was that I felt I wasn't getting quite enough support downstairs. (if you know what I mean!) My jewels are going everywhere! Do any of you wear, and recommend an Athletic Supporter when biking, and wearing these under biking shorts? I kind of have the feeling that the answer is yes, but I'd like to hear other's takes about this. Thanks, Mark |

Thanks, Mark Shorts that are the proper size will hold everything still, while it's 'arranged' pointing up! If everything is in free float, either your shorts are too small or too large, most likely small. |

So this only applies to guys with smaller jewels. Kinda like loose change. Need a small pouch to put then in. Put your jewels in a toddlers sock and place duct tape starting at your ass and run it up to your belly button. That should do the trick. Should you find that to hard to do by yourself then get an kid size athletic cup and remove the plastic insert and use that for holding the jewels in place. Had a fellow from Japan with the same problem and said that's what worked for him. |

Thanks for a decent reply to my question Dave. To the others, no, this
was not a troll, and no, I am not "small". I know it was kind of "bit funny" question to pose here, and I should've known I'd get some "funny" replies in return. The simple answer was to try it, and find out for myself. Yes, my shorts are a bit too loose a fit. This is probably the problem then. The roads aren't exactly the best here either, and with the combination of the two, the Cajones are taking a beating at times. lol I thought maybe that the "pros' perhaps wore them? I'll try to remember in the future not to make my posts appear "Trollish", Sorry, and Thanks, Mark "Dave Thompson" wrote in message ... "Mark" wrote in message om...

I did think you were trolling. To be honest, I used to were briefs with the biking shorts at 1st. But that was to uncomfortable and went solo. It's true, it's all in the fit. They do move some times but I have a snug fit with the lycra / shorts. On extended rides I use Buttr cream. I always use it and found that it makes for a comfortable ride. Make sure you was them after every ride. |

First of all, please ignore the rude accusations. You are not a troll,
it's an honest newbie question. I have asked it myself, and I'm not even a newbie. Genital support, IMO, is badly needed in bike shorts, especially if you are doing any off roading, as you are standing up more often, and things tend to fall out of place. Or rather, into the wrong place. What might work is a regular jock strap, but wear it like a "thong'. That is, the rear straps up your butt crack. (seriously, you don't want to be sitting on them!) - - "May you have the wind at your back. And a really low gear for the hills!"
