Once I found BMX shorts I see no reason for anyone to ever wear lycra on the street. Dont get me wrong I see the benefits and I wear tri-shorts when i race in Triathlons, but when I train I have a few pairs of Fox Racing BMX shorts. They are lined inside like lycra shorts, they are tight and have padding and are moisture wicking, but then they have an outside short thats very form fitting but basically looks like regular shorts. I have done 30+ mile rides in the summer, in the wind, etc and they are super comfortable and have no wicking, chafing, or any other problems regular shorts give. while maybe I'll lose a little in aerodynamics, its nice to be able to be comfortable on my bike, and also comfortable being off it.
