I've had this occasionally with baggy MTB style shorts (which I often wear for the pockets!), but shouldn't be as much of a problem with tighter lycra style shorts.

I guess the only solution is to get your leg over further. ^_^

Everyone has the occasional stumble or wobble, which can very occasionally end up with a slightly worse collision. Crinkly Lion won the award for this, managing to injure herself at the start of a FNRttC, whilst walking around ... :wacko::laugh:^_^
Yea, but my seat is not set as high as it should be - so, it will get worse sitting up onto it with my padded cycling pants when it's the right height! Oh well, I will get better I know and I am wobbly, especially starting uphill at a junctions...

Oh and I'll look into tighter shorts, although I though mine were quite tight - thanks

I really meant tighter as compared to baggy shorts, which aren't really tight (and people tend to wear lycra shorts under them anyway).

To tight shorts probably isn't a good thing, aside from "tightness" not really being a traditional metric or easily quantifiable, and it could well make them uncomfortable, which would possibly be worse for a longer duration ride.

Noise complaint people? Doubtless they came about the row...
doing their job in the face of orchestration.
Yea...kinda noisy I guess on the river front with a band playing 'til 2am...and the neighbours with river properties not taking too kindly to our party...you'd think they'd give us a break as rowing squads train 6 day week and no partying what so ever for eights months of the year!

What about the rowers who are not in the eights? How many parties do they have?
