I don't wear lycra, no time, no way. I think watching Freddy Mercury on stage at the Summit (it was the Summit then, not Compaq Center or Lakewood Church) during Queen's News of the World tour had damaging psychological effects. Every time I pick up a pair of mtb shorts the huge pad that seems to weigh as much as a cf bike also turns me off. Maybe next time I feel like I need shorts for riding I'll hop down to the uniform store and see if they have those shorts the bike cops wear.
