Bike Shorts, Do you wear things under/over them? So I am going on a 200mi ride (over 3 days) soon. I was at the bike store getting my bike a once-over before I go, and I was told by the bike specialist, that I would really want to consider buying some bike shorts (the tight spandex kind) with padding. While that is fine, and I am going to take his advice, I dont know anything about wearing said bike shorts.

Do you wear underwear with them? Can I wear shorts over them? Do I really need them?

Absolutely not. Nothing over or under, just the bike shorts.


  Do I really need them?


For 200 miles? Hell yeah. Your ass will thank you.
