Eldron Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 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
The Ghost Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 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 Posted March 19, 2018 Shorts for me. I hate bibs and also find them uncomfortable. I got a couple of Craft shorts, and wear them under my baggies.

wolf182 Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 Bibs for road and mtb-ing.. recently received a corporate shorts from work and had it converted to a bid before the mtb cycle tour.
Skott5 Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 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 ..
NickGM Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 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
Jewbacca Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 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. T-Bob and ChrisF 2
Hairy Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 Bibs under a pair of baggies ... as noted by others it keeps things in place and does not move around .... it also sucks in the tummy T-Bob 1
T-Bob Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 Bibs for training, skin suit for racing. It's a good look! Odinson 1
Odinson Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 Bibs over baggies. I prefer not to intimidate other trail users with my large penis and bulbous testicles. Jewbacca, T-Bob and NickGM 3
