Do Cyclists Wear This ?
I try not to pay attention to annoying ads but while browsing this very forum, I could not ignore this one. I seldom ride in groups, but if I were drafting someone wearing this, I may give up cycling forever...

On longer rides I will sometimes wear padded shorts, but I keep them hidden underneath my regular pants or cargo shorts, so nobody knows that I am wearing them.

Pic assist. Similar to OP's pic.

Cycling shorts are often shown inside out so you can see what sort of padding is inside. You wouldn’t actually wear them like that.

I'd thought that too,but so far of the orders received ended up being returned because of the exposed buttocks padding.

I was dumbfounded by the orange bubble butt pads, so I didn't notice that they are meant to be worn under something. The other thing I didn't notice until my wife pointed it out is that they are 95% OFF, now she wants a pair.

I wear bib shorts but I don't wear them inside out. I think the idea was to show off the chamois.

It's funny when people suddenly discover a different genre of cycling.
