Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Dumb question

I got my first set of bibs, and I'm curious as to how I go to the restroom with them on. . . lift a leg of shorts?

Sorry for the naivete. And I searched, but didn't find anything but the keywords in this are varied. Thanks in advance.

Slide down the bibs, take a leak. Lift a leg, take a leak. Hop no one is looking and do nothing, take a leak, the choice is yours. Not many options here, so it's kinda obvious

I'd like to think the only dumb question is the one that was not asked, but yes, that was a dumb question.

Pull down the waistband at the belly and lift the goods out. Not a graceful maneuver, but it works.

Just walk towards the restroom and enter the same way as you would when wearing anything else.

Don't worry about asking dumb questions -- that's practically the only kind we have here

why not take the jersey off and pull the arms out and pull down the bibs?

[i bought bib tights but haven't put them to the test yet]

I always wear a zippered jersey with my bibs. Unzip and slide the bib straps down my arms a bit. Up and over he goes!

Number two is a bit more involved.
