Unless you need a cut-out. I started on a Brooks...couldn't make it work with or without bike shorts.
OP, in case you secretly think that bike shorts would help you but are afraid to get all spandexy, you can get baggy "normal" shorts with a padded liner, or just a padded liner to wear under your own shorts. Of course doing so will get you shunned from the roadie club and you will be caught in the pergatory that is looking like a MTB'er, but riding a road bike...and that's no place for a man to live.
