Who wears short shorts? I don't.

I'm sure there is a proper name for shorts with a padded ass, but I like to call them butt shorts. As in, you've got an extra butt in there. And I hate them. I have plenty of ass on my own. And yet, it's still sore after a bike ride (and we only did a wussy 9 miles and change today). The day may soon come when someone sees me in those ridiculous butt shorts, and I apologize now for that traumatic experience. I've got my eye on a gel-padded seat to add on to my bike, but I don't know if it will accomplish the same thing. It's probably worth at least a try, considering butt shorts are wicked pricey (I could buy another bike for what a complete biking outfit would cost).
