    Cycle shorts = sleek, modern, attractive [1] Y-fronts = old fashioned, ugly, a.k.a. "no
    score drawers"

    Both the above are based upon extensive research amongst cycling and non-cycling female friends.
    Personal experience leads me to think that this, combined with the comfort factor of cycling
    shorts, means that cycle shorts are the way to go.

    As a female, I have to agree with your findings. Indeed, Saturday evening at the Velodrome, sat in
    the front row by the start/finish line, where many a Lycra clad male cyclist's bottom was only
    inches from my eyes, as they lined up along the track wall ready for the start of races, I carried
    out some important scientific research, to ascertain the attractiveness of male cyclists' Lycra clad
    bottoms. The results were conclusive. Pert, muscular, curvy... PHWOAR!!! All in the name of science
    you understand ;-)

    Well that's just not good enough! My scientific research *demands* that as many samples as possible
    are invsetigated, as the bigger the sample the lower the chances of error ;-)

    Well, soon it will be time for the Tour de France team lineup 'photos again ;-)

    Hi

    I am using padded cycling shorts and find them to be fantastic for comfort, and the fact that they
    are breathable makes a big difference.

    However, as I am more used to Y-fronts rather than boxer type underpants I wondered if there are
    any good padded Y-front style short-liners ?

    I've got some Polaris ones - They are brief design: Not Y-Front. But they do keep my bits both
    padded and in position. I have some boxershort style liners which are less comfy.

    Thanks, that sounds exactly what I was looking for - I will have a look for an online supplier

  4. Avoid the misery of Groinal Frostnip when winter riding. Get the temporary pad down the front of the
    Y fronts or lycra.

    A piece of fleece, even better if its windproof. Dont worry about the embarrassing bulge, your
    'friends' are more important to you than ridicule. Mike

    What was that about life being such a let-down when these things are removed?? ;-)

    Shame on you , you a married woman and all. What are you doing removing men's padded Y-fronts with
    an anticipation that gets let down? Does Vernon know? Is he the basis of your comment?

    Tony ;-)

    For pansies. You should bolt your pelvis directly to the frame. Use Ti bolts and you might save
    a gramme or two as well!

    Shimano Seatpost Dynamics?

    To quote the immortal _1066 and all that_, 'if none write nun'.

    Ouch.
