Bianchi Posted November 6, 2012 Share If the colleague is a he, there is one reason that clears it up for ever and ever.Tell him if he rides in front of you, wearing shorts, and you see his butt crack when he bends over, you're going to push him off the road. shaper 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/122998-bib-v-shorts-cycling/#findComment-1841472 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agteros Posted November 6, 2012 Share Used to ride with shorts, but now only use bibs. Find them more comfortable. Why? Not sure.. Maybe peer pressure? Using Anatomic (club + other) kitAlso have some tripants, and have ridden up to 70km in them, also comfortable... Love my 2XUs Good fit, and well made are the two most important points (my opinion), so do not compare cheap pants to expensive bibs...

MAESTRO's Posted November 6, 2012 Share Once you try bibs, you'll never go back to shorts. Agree also that you must try and buy the best bib you can afford. Its pointless buying the cheapest just for sake of having a bib. Goedkoop is duurkoop.

Mackie Posted November 6, 2012 Share I find bibs stay in place better than plain rods, nobody likes to see a plumbers crack when your shorts start slipping down Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/122998-bib-v-shorts-cycling/#findComment-1841516 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zook Posted November 6, 2012 Share For mostly random reasons I pretty much only have bibs now, but honestly miss shorts because they're just easier and lighter and less hot in summer. I've never felt my shorts slipping down. What the heck do you people do? Stop oiling your bum.

madvics Posted November 6, 2012 Share I started out in shorts,now also use bibs. My reasons for changing:Â 1: Kept having to adjust the chamois2:on a technical downhill the last thing you need is your shorts getting stuck behind your seat.
