Baggy shorts with built in chamios liner (butt padding). You can pick up some Fox Mid-Rangers for $40 online if you catch a good sale or MSRP is $64.99. I think Fox makes one more entry level short and then a few more expensive models. You can find closeout Fox Base jerseys for $19.99 on sale or they are $40
 
Or just grab a few Wal-Mart sport jerseys that are vented.
 
Get some skateboarding type shoes with flat soles. Vans work great and sometimes Ross has them super cheap.

You can bolt two mounts on top of the 2x4 towards the ends and then screw a center one on the side of the 2x4 so that it sits back a few inches and that way the handlebars won't be an issue.
 
Oh course, don't leave the bikes hooked to this contraption and dash into Wal-Mart without at least having a cable lock run through one of the tie downs.
hey take that sock out

Garry gives sound advice for your helmet choices.  As far as racks are concerned, you can also choose something like this:

On a side note, I'm surprised this thread hasn't been hijacked yet.  :D

 
I have 2 of these racks in my truck.  I mounted them to a piece of steel in the front of the bed and leave the tailgate down.  I didn't want to take the front wheel of the bike to transport it.  Heard plenty of horror stories about leaving the front wheel at home or in the parking lot.

Dude... I'm not sure I can do the spandex pants.  Option B for an outfit?

you can buy the padded liners to wear under regular shorts or buy baggy bike shorts. Bikenashbar usually has them cheap.
