Clearly, the solution is to save the see-through shorts to use for padding when you go out for World Naked Bike Ride day.

The other day I found myself riding behind a woman wearing what must have been dancer's tights and not cyclist's lycra. In full sun, they were distinctly less than opaque.

That is one of the times I would probably not complain about the see through effect

I don't see the big deal. Everyone has an @$$ and a genital.
Dogs walk around naked all the time, and they seem much happier for it.

it ain't the being naked that makes em happy, it's their ability to lick themselves

OK...I'll point out that dogs can't lick themselves if they are wearing lycra cycling shorts...see-thru or otherwise.
