A few friends who ride A LOT and are what I consider top cyclists say absolutely not and others say don't worry so much.
Appreciate your thoughts

The odd ride here and there you’ll be fine. Maybe a little tender though. Lots of girls don’t wear bike shorts and manage. Best though is to pick up some cheap bib or regular bike shorts which is better than ginch. You don’t need to spend $200/pr. If you ride often though then you are tempting fate for those pores and sores.
