Also, I wouldn't necessarily getting bike-specific clothing just yet. But padded shorts can help, and another option is just a padded liner, then just toss shorts or sweats over top. Just make sure it's somewhat stretchy. I hate riding in cargo shorts, the fabric doesn't flex, and it resists every time my leg is at the top of the stroke. I ride in padded liners under basketball shorts. And a "technical" tee. Wicks better than a regular cotton tee. Usually can be got from Target or such for $10 or less. Bike-specific stuff is always much more spendy.
