The one time I forgot my bike shorts and everything clicked

I was 15 miles into my commute and my knee started killing me. Turns out I left my padded shorts at home so I just rode in regular jeans. For some reason my legs felt way less fatigued and I actually had more energy when I got to work. Been using a firmer saddle with no pads ever since and my knees havent hurt once. Anybody else ditch the padded gear after a bad experience?

Nah, padded shorts saved my butt. You probably just got used to a hard saddle.

30 miles in padded shorts saved my life today.
