cheap bibs for big people? and how many to buy?
my waist is around 40" and my thighs around 27". i don't really want padding, just some thick cloth in the nether area to keep mr doodle from showing in detail. any places that would supply the proper bibs?
also, if you're cycling everyday, how many bibs do you need? i'd love to have 8 pairs, but i don't have a 1/2 grand + for bibs.

Try velowear.com for good quality & reasonable prices.
I've found that 2pair of bibs is all I need as a frequent rider. I alternate riding in each pair, wash immediately after each ride, always have a pair ready. Technically, since you should wash them after each ride, you may only need one. With two, you're also ready for those 2day ride events.

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.
