I wore two pairs of underpants today because I'm sick of getting chilly nether regions.

The cold is like Anne Widdecombe. It makes men shrivel and retract.

The end result feels uncomfortable and looks alarming.

It can't be doing my soft tissue extremities much good.

The best solution would be some proper thermal cycling shorts instead of the three quarter length shorts I wear.

Not only would they be warmer, but apparently they get more respect from proper cyclists.

But I'm a bit sick of spending money on accessories.

My guess is I've spent £200 on top of the £350 for the bike.

Until the summer sales I'll keep struggling on.

Anyone know where I can get some cheap Y-fronts?
