How important are riding shorts vs. a padded seat?
I am buying a new road bike tomorrow. I am heavy...5'10 and 230 pounds. I do not want to be putting on the skin tight bike clothes...why should I just not buy a gel padded seat to start?
riding shorts are more important than the padded seat. Padded seats are generally ineffective, because they reinforce bad seat position. Making the whole seat squishy, tends to cause you to slump into wrong areas of the seat, placing pressure on soft tissue instead of the sit bones. If you sit properly on even a hard seat, it shouldn't be too uncomfortable because the load is distributed on the hard sit bones instead of the soft tissue.
The riding shorts add padding to the areas where it matters and more importantly are tight against your skin to prevent chafing. They also tend to be made of breathable material, preventing your butt from getting soaked. If you are concerned about the spandex skin-tight look, they have padded tight shorts with a baggy outside layer. The tight inside layer prevents chafing and provides support to your butt, but the outside layer is loose enough that your skin can still breathe. A million times more comfortable than a pair of athletic shorts and boxers, and they will get bunched up far less.
Another alternative is cycling specific underwear or simply wearing the lycra shorts underneath a pair of regular shorts. The important thing is that you want the tight under layer to prevent it from getting bunched up and chafing against your legs. Talk to your local bike shop, it is a very common issue for people to be uncomfortable in the saddle, they can probably find a solution for you.
