What sort of underwear do you wear on the bike?? The amount of moving around on the seat I do on when riding means loose fitting underwear is likely to see me off into the bushes at a high rate of knots.

Yet another KISS fan in our midst? or you just into cute pandas?

definitely G string with some racy lace. I go faster when I feel sexy.

An Ivor Cutler fan, are you..?

FWIW, briefs with very thin (almost non-existant) elastic around the legs (nothing worse than elastic digging in to your arse). I've tried the Daniel Carter style but they bunched up too much for my liking.

I hope you all have been scarred for life with my descriptive response.

you want descriptive? well... you should have a gander at this rash....

I still think G-string and lace is the way to go if you want to ride fast and be nimble around corners.

As you know, G-string caries just about the least amount of fabric, meaning less weight and better power-to-weight ratio for the bikes. THis improves the accelleration.

The lace, as a help, carries with it numerous holes all over the place. Being a porous matter, this component acts similar to sponge, or in better case, baloon.
The air trapped in the holes actually act as a flotation component which further reduces the overall weight and helps reduce the unsprung weight, which in turn assist the rider when doing cornering and makes riding easier.
It also reduces fatique on the legs by fractionally floating the lower body mass the same way a tube floats a child in the water.

Another benefit of wearing porous lower-body wrap is an additional cooling to testicular area. When properly cooled, this area tend to shrink, thereby further reducing the rider's body mass which greatly assist the rider in moving about the seat during cornering as well as increasing the power-to-weight ratio further, although this later effect is not quite significant to warrant mention in this particular article. A side-effect also enables the rider to sit further forward (due to smaller testicular gland dimension) and put more weight to the front of the bike which is desirable under race condition.

This scientific analysis can be used to back up Carl Fogarty's claim "I always wear my wife's, Michaela, underwear during sunday races" when interviewed after one of his Superbike wins (yes, that is apparently true).
