Bibs are the best thing to happen to cycling
since wheels.
Just got a pair of Performance Ultimate Bibs and I don't think I'll be able to wear shorts again. I took em for a 35 mile spin today and didn't once think about anything other than the ride (except for when I had to fix a flat). No chaffing, slipping or anything. Great product.

"If it aint broke don't fix it" I think bibs and shaving your legs fall into the same category for a lot of cyclist.

I have problems with the waistband of shorts "rolling down" on me, so I'm a bib fan.

I agree with OP, bibbs help me a lot. Im losing weight but the belly is the last to go and shorts cn be problematic. Of course after Sundays 64 miles (my longest yet) not much was comfortable anyway but I had too many layers for bibs so shorts it was.

Amen brother. Bibs rule. I'll just use the term "joint management".
