Anyway, the advantages are:
1. Never having that cold wind (when it's cold out) between your shirt and your shorts.
2. Not having an elastic pressure on your waist when you're riding.
3. Not having to worry about certain anatomical parts showing.
If these don't apply to you, then perhaps you shouldn't buy bibs. All three applied to me.
Sorry, I am the 1 out of 10 who can find shorts and jerseys that fit. I have a pair of bibs and they are fine. But, on the bike I cannot tell any difference. I can see if you have a big rear or no rear, bibs would help.
