There's one spot on your bike that many cyclists overlook as a potential place that can rub and damage your bike shorts. That's the Velcro closure on your bike seat bag, specifically the one that secures your seat bag to your seat post.
This sounds like one of those goofy things that nobody should actually worry about or pay attention to, but it was enough to eat a hole through my own shorts one day on a ride. Check it out.

I had that same experience once and caught it on time, I felt something sticking on the first ride I did with a new bag, pulled over and found it quick, I raised it a little more and tried to tighten it as much as I could and it elped, another thing I did is moved up the rear reflector tight to help the bag stay up and snug to the bottom of the seat. It worked for me
perhaps it could work for you and all other readers. Have a good ride all.
