Question about cycling clothing

Maybe the question seems to be stupid, but I will ask:

What do you wear under cycling shorts, do you weat a kind of underwear or
not?

Nothing. It may seem strange at first but consider the combination of
sweat,hair,cotton, and friction in the summer time for 3 hours in an area where
friction is not your friend.

Nothing, unless the weather's cold, then a pair of underarmor tights.

Maybe it seems stupid, but they become dirty while cycling, why they do not
produce shorts with u piece of cloth(textile) inside like the speedos has?

Because any extra layers of material create friction. With only one layer
of stretchy material, there's nothing to bind & abrade and otherwise cause
discomfort. As for becoming dirty, you wash your shorts after every ride,
no iff, ands or butts. If you're doing a long tour, you learn how to speed
the drying process by rolling them up in a dry towel.

Cycling underwear is not for regular cycling shorts, but if you're
wearing something that looks more like regular pants. The fold on
regular underwear will eventually chafe and be very irritating. Lots
of commuters aren't wearing cycling shorts or tights. It took me
almost a year of everyday commuting to switch over to cycling clothes.
I mean if you're into utilitarian riding, it can take a long time to
switch into good cycling clothes. While cycling gear is the best on
the bike, sometimes its not real practical after you get off the bike.
