Hehe...you're going to put on some bike shorts, go ride, and then spend 20 min smacking yourself in the head for not having done so sooner.
Check out Voler clothing if you don't want to pay for Pearl Izumi stuff. It's much cheaper and very nice. It's really all I wear other than my team kit (Sugoi).

Seriously though, that stuff is EXPENSIVE as HELL.
What, the PI or the site I linked? $40-60 for a pair of shorts is cheap if you're talking good stuff. The low-end crap like Canari just isn't worth it.Originally posted by: Goosemaster

Yep, they all have padding (called a chamois, even though it's not actually made of chamois any more). The padding is there to pad your butt and to protect you from chafing. It's cut so that it moves with you as you pedal so that the only thing rubbing against the seat is your shorts, not your nether regions.
You also have to remember that the typical adult male is like 170lbs so there's a lot more pressure on your butt riding around than there was when you were a kid.

Unless you are on a road bike with "snails"
Those things takes soooo much waight off your ass, and decrease wind resistance immensely.

What in God's name are "snails"?
FWIW, I strongly prefer bib shorts, which are comfier IMO (part of it is that I am tall enough that regular shorts tend to ride uncomfortably low on me).

Agreed. Bibs feel weird at first, but are definitely more comfy overall since they don't have an elastic waistband.
One of the perks of riding for a team is getting really nice clothing for cheap. I :heart: my new team stuff.
