When I was young and cycling shorts were merino wool with chamois leather pads in them you were not supposed to wear underwear with them. Not being the sporty sort anymore I'm guessing that special cycling underpants now exist and the manufacturers charge a fortune for them.
You know when your mother told you always to wear clean underwear in case you ended up in hospital?
Back in 2000 I went commando on my bike just one day. I got smashed into by a car, broke my leg and ended up in casualty, where I flat out refused to let the nurse remove my trousers. I told her to roll them up and I would deal with the problem of getting them off over the plaster cast myself. I think she knew why. I ended up having to cut them up the seam when I got back home.
Didn't ride a bike for 2 years after that, but always wore pants from then on.
You've got me worried now. I never wear underwear under my cycle shorts, I just figures that's how it's done... am I perpetrating a faux pas here?
I bought some endura cycling underwear yesterday, wore them today, only £14 with good arse padding too.

I think changing the Hetchins frame out for a more contemporary one would be the easy fix. Lovely frame, wrong build.

People claim they do it all the time (on here). Never seen it happen.
I once did hit a guy in the back while he was walking in the bike lane in front of London Bridge. It was meant to be a nice tap ont eh back to remind the guy people are actually using the bike lane, but I forgot to take into account my speed.
Felt really bad, but wasn't going to stop. In fact, I burned it out of there as quick as I could.
I did a similar thing, more of a clip/pat/scuff on the top of a guy's head who just wandered accross Dean street without looking. I used my left hand which has quite a heavy silver ring on it, I heard the thud as the ring hit his skull, my hand barley touched his head. Air turned blue, I fucked right off.
