I know a professional bicycle mechanic and one time he brought me back a used team water bottle from one of his European races.
I was like 'gee . . . thanks . . . '.

I don't buy used bibs, but will buy used jerseys. I know some who don't buy used jerseys for the same reason not buying used bibs?
Cheers

If there are bacon strips in the hotel bed then there are some serious issues.

As illogical as it may be, I don't wear used clothes of any kind, no matter how well they have been washed.

Here is another possibility: I wouldn't be surprised if many of the folks objecting to buying and using used bibs/shorts also are the ones who wash their shorts by hand or by wearing them in the tub or shower. Maybe they wear their bibs/shorts several times before washing them at all. Deep down inside they know they are not really getting them clean. They are willing to live with their own dirt, but not a previous owner's. Those of us who machine wash and dry our bibs/shorts likely are less concerned. A modern washing machine doesn't leave anything behind. Just saying.

I think the main issue is the unknown.
- Were they worn for two weeks at a time between washes?
- Was there ever a 'code brown' moment?
- Were they ever peed in during an insanely long brevet?
- Did the previous owner have horribly inflamed hemorrhoids?
- Did they sit neglected in a dark laundry basket, getting all crusty & moldy for a month before they were 'washed' to sell?
