    shorts have a little padding, but more importantly less friction because they're tighter to you, and wick away the sweat.

    There's probably a more thorough explanation.

    Welcome :)

    they will, but your arse will need a bit of breaking in too if you're just starting, it'll only be a bit sore for a day or so after the first couple of spins

    If you're new to cycling it takes a while for your bum to adapt :P However even once it does you'll need cycling shorts for anything over...5km+ Get a decent pair, well worth it.
