This might be a dumb question but do most people wear underwear under their riding shorts?

That would be a big NO!  If you wore underwear under good biking shorts, you could end up with some raw spots, between the stitching and possibly cotton material that would stay wet, you'd be asking for problems.

Sometimes it takes awhile to find good cycling shorts, but you get what you pay for.  Sometimes you can find some decent shorts at Bonktown.com for a much cheaper price.

I don't wear any under my tri suit, but WOW!

I've been wearing boxer briefs under my bike shorts as long as i've been riding and never had a problem. hmmm, maybe i'll try going commando now.

Never...

But that doesn't mean other don't. I wouldn't recommend wearing underwear under biking shorts, trisuits, etc.

I don't (and I don't wear underwear under running shorts, either).

(and it's not a dumb question --- everyone starts at the beginning!)

No. More seams = more potential chafing.

I wear compression shorts under my riding and shorts, but not under the tri suit, and definitely not under the swim jammers.
