The Bike Zero shorts have that gel pad but I feel could be more strategic in it's placement.
Very typical of cheap cycling clothing. They get everything wrong. You're probably better off riding in regular gym shorts than a $20-30 pair of padded bike shorts. Ditto with cheap jerseys, poor fit, bad stitching , cheap fabric . . . total nightmare when you find yourself on a 100 degree day climbing a 12% grade, and the padding on your shorts starts chafing or shifting around. Meanwhile, you're sweating like a pig under some ill-fitting, hot, cheap gaudy polyester jersey you hated the looks of, but only bought cause it was CHEEP. Been there, done that, it sucks badly.

I say ride in street clothes rather than crappy Chinese bike clothing from Amazon that doesn't fit. At least you won't look and feel like a complete clueless dork.
