  1. I purchased new bike shorts. They are Nishiki brand and were $25 at [censored]. I wasn't looking for top of the line ones.

    Should they be tight at the bottoms or loose at the bottoms?

    Do you wear underwear under them or go "commando" ?

  2. Bike shorts are your base layer. Wearing anything under them defeats the purpose. Good bike shorts provide some level of extra cushioning and comfort, but also eliminate seams that will cause you discomfort. Should be snug on your legs if are road cycling shorts. If are mountain bike shorts (baggy with a liner) then not tight.
