I wear bibs and don't see the problem for a bathroom break unless you are female. They pull down easily to get your business done. I agree with others above that say cycling shorts are good but tend to be revealing at times, especially if your jersey or top is short. I used to wear them but kept seeing cracks and low hanging guts sticking out all over the place so I decided it was time to buy some bibs. Best decision I ever made comfort wise. When riding the mtb I use liner shorts with stretchable cargo shorts.
