My boyfriend refuses to wear lycra too. We haven't really ridden much together. But he says he'd try riding with me sometimes when I start training to do my MS150. He'll be riding my hybrid. He asked if he could ride in jeans. :-D I figure he can wear gym shorts for a little bit so that he can determin the necessity of padded shorts. Then we'd either get him a pair to wear under some shorts, or one of those padded liners.

I really don't expect that he'll ride a lot with me. But on days he'd like to do longer sections with me, I'd like him to be comfortable.
