I'll usually put on lycra for any ride that's gonna go beyond a couple of hours.

If it is too hot out I go full fred and put on a jersey so I have some pockets.

If it ain't too hot out I'll typically put some board shorts or even cargo shorts on over the lycra however. I only have one pair of Billabong cargo shorts that don't work on bike. They suffer from low crotch syndrome and snag the saddle nose all the time.

Never had the lycra snag and unravel like a Weezer song. Of course the long trails I ride aren't blackberry ridden like the short trails here in the city. For those teaser city trails I usually have cargo shorts on.

I wouldn't worry much about those Royal Racing shorts snagging a bunch either, though. The fronts look pretty clean and snag-free. Of course with that belt a couple of buddies could hoist you up and hang yer ass from a chain-link fence so beware.
