I just picked up my first bike in 5 years, and I'm curious how y'all carry while you ride. I carry AIWB, and that's definitely not going to work on the bike.

Bicycle or motorcycle?
Shoulder holster is most comfortable in my opinion. Its a pain in the ass when you wanna take off your jacket on pit stops.
I carry a J-Frame in my jacket pocket and never leave my jacket unattended.
Inside breast pocket or r/side outside one in my jacket. It also depends what kind of MC you're riding, for sport & sport touring a tank bag is option A. For full blown touring they make handlebar bags if your fairing doesn't have pouches, storage compartments etc.
I also do a holster in inside jacket pocket...
If it's hot, I can carry the jacket with me. A short trip to the men's room and I can switch to AIWB.
depending on where I'm at, I have no problem moving holster from AIWB to jacket pocket while preparing to ride... People generally don't pay attention to someone gearing up.
In style

Bicycle for me. I carry the same place all of the time regardless of activity. One less thing my increasingly feeble brain has to process in a crisis.
It will never be a satin pillow, warmly snuggled up to your skin. It is a gun. That little bit of discomfort is nothing compared to the world of hurt you will bring on the day you have to use it.
Be safe.
