I got nothing on the shorts as I would recommend a good pair but if you have to go cheapo try Performance Bike. If you choose just to wear regular shorts (not cycling shorts), make sure they are lightweight and not cotton. They should contain lycra, polyester or spanex at least 15%. You can get those shorts at the above stores.
