Dunno about anyone else, but I've not worn cycling shorts for weeks. Forgot to put them on one day, and I was half way through my commute before I realised. Doing 20 miles a day, and 30-40 at the weekends and I don't miss them. I wear a pair of unpadded compression pants and light-ish cargo shorts (£10.50 from Peacocks!), and they both seem to give me enough protection.
