Eldron Posted March 19, 2018 Share I am genuinely surprised to hear that some people prefer shorts to bibs! My experience has been that bibs trump shorts 100% f the time. Even baggies - I wear them but only when I plan on being in public straight after my ride. Then fashion (and dignity!!) trump comfort. A fine case of different strokes for different folks I guess. Wear what you like indeed! pista 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost Posted March 19, 2018 Share I like a decent bib under some shorts / baggies for modesty / protection of others eyesight, but I have had the odd occasion that my shorts snagged on the seat when bringing myself forward from being behind the seat.

Wil6 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Shorts for me. I hate bibs and also find them uncomfortable. I got a couple of Craft shorts, and wear them under my baggies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnavel Posted March 19, 2018 Share It depends on whether or not you are a good looking female rider... *Edit: For everyone else, bibs... Edited March 19, 2018 by Schnavel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skott5 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Personally I prefer a non-bib chamois, that I wear under baggies. I've got bibs .. tried them .. Meh Never quite got the argument of bibs keeps the chamois in place. A properly fitting pair of lycra shorts, stays in place for 6 - 7 hours. I've never needed to get off my bike and pull my chamois up from my knees .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickGM Posted March 19, 2018 Share I have been using shorts thus far, and no issues. Went to buy another pair and the salesman made a very good argument for bibs .... Would like to hear from those that have tried both. Which do you use, and why ? Started riding in the UK with baggies, just because that's what everyone else did. Came (back) to SA and saw everyone wearing lycra like it was a frikken van halen concert, so I gave it a go for about a year. Back in baggies and prefer it. I just don't like cruising around in a full-body speedo. T-Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted March 19, 2018 Share I have bibs and shorts and to be honest neither are way better or worse than the other. When I road ride I wear cut off denim shorts and when I mtb I wear shorts over... No one needs to see that I'm circumcised and dress to the right.

Odinson Posted March 19, 2018 Share Bibs over baggies. I prefer not to intimidate other trail users with my large penis and bulbous testicles. T-Bob, Jewbacca and NickGM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
