Really, I can't imagine riding in regular shorts. Even on my 8+ mile commute I suit up.
I've done it in tennis shorts, but it sure feels better in bike clothes.
One thing: Skip shorts. Just man up right now, admit you cycle and spring for bibs. Really.. Seems weird, but if you're out over an hour you'll be happy you did.
I can't +1 this enough. I shied away from bibs for two years, and finally, when I found a pair that fit and was on sale, took the plunge. I almost NEVER ride without them now, even for really quick trips (except fo the grocery store run). Bibs are the best thing since sliced bread.
