I wear LL Bean Sport Shorts nearly everyday. I have about 5 or 6 pairs and wear them to the gym, hiking, biking, lounging, water or whatever. I regulated 2 of them just for biking to test exactly what you are talking about. So far, no problems at all but I only have 1350 miles on the saddle which works out to 675 miles per shorts. They look just as good as the ones I don't bike in.
