Could go with SPEEDO

Under cycling shorts not a problem. Remove cycling shorts EXPOSING that Atlas physique in all its glory, swim, pop cycling shorts back on and good to go like me ----

I bike in a swimming suit, when it's raining, and never had any issue with it.

One could actually fold a speedo and quite easily fit it inside their saddle bag or backpack.

Now I realize that you meant it more as a joke, but I wouldn't wear it under lycra. It would defeat the purpose of having a chamois.

Good comeback.😁
And I have heard some actually do that.
But obviously not to keep kit dry.

With the wonderful wicking fabrics we have today they may dry quickly.
I have also heard of one gentleman running with broken toes.
I will stick to pleasant bicycling thank you very much.

Were your legs trying to cramp?
