Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Just wondering....do most of you guys wear anything under your cycling shorts, or do you go what we used to call "Commando"?

I wear underarmor compression shorts. Added support, and the fact that I am used to the feel from years of running with them. Also I have a bit of a superstition regarding my underwear du jour.
