Biking in a kilt

[ratspike]

I wear biking shorts underneath. I do have to remember remove the kilt pin as it bangs the top bar.

Digging that Rivendell! There will forever be a place in this retro grouch's heart for Grant.

OP, yeah, bike shorts or at least boxer briefs are totally the way to go. Along with keeping your equipment covered, and I'd think it'll be more comfortable as well. I can't imagine I'd enjoy things being free to move about on the saddle without shorts to keep it all contained.

Thanks Bob, I am a big Rivendell fan. I have an Atlantis also,both set up the same with Brooks saddle.

If one has not tried biking shorts they should, I never ride over 5 miles without them. Combining them with the large frame bike and Brooks saddle, I went from doing an uncomfortable 35 miles to easily doing 100.

I am not modest by any stretch, but do believe others might prefer that I cover my biking shorts at my age. The cotton kilts work great for that. It is however tartan day and I might try the wool.
