"Friction and chafing, primarily. Aerodynamics too, not that any of the ones we’d likely encounter will ever participate in the Tour De France though, lol. But, their idols wear it and it does prevent painful aftereffects, particularly for males."

Alright, that makes sense. Thanks. I might ride a bicycle once in a while (a horse more often, probably), but I'm not wearing any kind of tights. ;-)

I won’t wear a Speedo for the same reason, I don’t want to make a spectacle of myself and they just look ... wrong, lol.

I used to ride bareback and bare-legged.

After a long, hot summer day, you *will* know “chafed”.

;D
