Amazing.

The reason people like bibs: they keep the chammy in place better, they are more comfortable. If you do not find this to be the case, it's likely you're doing it wrong. But, for everyone's sake, if you LOVE bike shorts and are offended by the vast majority of people preferring bibs, KEEP POSTING. I'm nearly converted back to shorts by tales of your uncomfortable shoulder straps.
