Spinning

[supercycle]

Can you get away without padded shorts on a 45 minute indoor studio cycle ride?

I don't think I've ever seen anyone wearing padded shorts on the spin bikes

Agree, very few people wear padded shorts.

You will undoubtedly feel a bit tender after the first session but somehow your bits soon toughen up.

I've been wearing mine for Spin but nobody would know they are padded 🤷🏻‍♀️
You can also wear them under leggings, which I do when I go out for rides on my bike

yes, the saddles are fine on most spin bikes

We have a spin bike, and I do Peloton classes on it. No padded shorts. The first few rides were a bit tender, but then my undercarriage clearly toughened up, and it's no problem now.

I've been to Spin without them, but it's a little bit more comfortable when I wear them. But without is fine

You'd be all right in my spin class which seems to consist almost entirely of standing at 90rpm

Yes I don’t own padded shorts. It does hurt the first time though.

Thanks for all the helpful comments. Will give it a go and see how I get on

You’ll be fine, I invested in padded shorts after doing classes on consecutive days and the second day was rather tender!! The seats are like razors on ours!

You won't be sitting that much!

For those of you who don't wear padded shorts for spin can I ask what you do wear?

Normal cropped leggings or cycling type shorts if not wearing padded ones.

No padded shorts here! Just normal gym clothes.
I have a spin bike at home and do peloton classes most days. The first week was a little uncomfortable but you soon get used to it!

Thanks for all your responses. Will have to experiment and see what works best for me.
