How to wear Bike goUnders
They become the underwear you ride in. The padding (chamois) sits directly next to your skin. Do not wear normal underwear with them. This is important as any additional seams and fabric under your Bike goUnders can cause chaffing and moisture retention and cause issues. With their bike seat comfort sorted in their underwear Kids & Youth can ride in their clothing of choice. Clothing that they like and feel good in and matches the weather and the season. Choose comfortable clothing that allows movement and won’t get caught in any moving parts.
