I ride my bike for two reasons. The first is to train for the 300 mile event I'm doing later this summer. The other is to go places and do things. Training, I wear bike shorts with a chamois and use chamois cream. For round town type stuff, I wear jeans.

The problem is, after a 20 mile around town ride in jeans I feel great. After a 20 mile ride in bike shorts my lady bits hurt and I sometimes have sores. I have two different pairs of bike shorts and I get the same thing with both.

I can't ride 300 miles in jeans. So, any thoughts? Maybe try bike shorts without a chamois? I haven't tried normal shorts because I don't really own any.
