I'm pretty sure you're right, Ryan. It looks like underneath his gnarly loose-fitting shorts he's wearing real bike shorts (you know, the tight spandex ones). They have what's known as a "chamois" (although they've not been made of chamois leather for a long time) in the crotch, to act as padding, but more importantly to absorb moisture.
Any other questions?

lol Tanya! I'm *guessing* it's padding.. Oh btw! On the other 90% of the photo there's this steep descent down stairs and that fella whose b*tt you were staring at is going down on a bike! ;-)
