Should be fine: Worn correctly, you should be fine. Some cases of inflammation of the epididymis have been linked to tight shorts, but often the rubbing motion and friction of riding a bike with the shorts is the real culprit. That being said, if worn correctly and you are not constantly irritating your testicles in any way, you should be fine.
