Jeans are only good for a couple of miles, after that, they're rubbing on things that you don't really want rubbed that much or that abrasively.
I had my issue with jeans last summer. I couldn't ride for almost 2 weeks. I ended up buying some of those lightweight cycling undewear by Andiamo the are light fabric with some chamois like biking shorts but being so thin you can wear a pair of shorts or other syle of pants other than jeans and they work great. They are about 19.00 a pair. I didn't like the REI Novara brand they are too heavy and the briefs feel like a G string
