Are we talking about mtn bike shorts? So do you wear the bibs and then the shorts?
No. Not MTB shorts, regular padded spandex cycling shorts. He wears the padded shorts underneath the bib-tights. Since the bike shorts are between him and the bibs, the bibs don't get as nasty and don't need to be washed as often as the shorts. Getting multiple pairs of shorts is cheaper than getting multiple pairs of bib tights.
