As far as I'm concerned bicycle commuting is the healthiest and most eco-friendly way to cut down on short car trips -- plus it's a load of fun. The number of people clamoring for a car free lifestyle makes this an exciting time for the future of commuting on two wheels. There's just one problem: the more you ride the better your chances of developing 'bike-butt,' aka a severely sore backside.

Well, ladies -- and men who wear ladies underwear -- now you can beat BB with a pair of convertible undies from GreenKnickers. Instead of just expressing your love for eating organic with your unmentionables, the folks at GreenKnickers have developed panties and boxers that include a removable butt protector. These undergarments are made from a blend of 70% sustainable bamboo and 30% organic cotton and they come with a pad that I'm assuming velcros on for your ride -- then you can take it right back off for a comfortable workday. By the way, they actually do offer some bike boxers for men.
