Because you haven't learned to go before you put them on.

Nashbar has a pair of bibs with a 2 button flap in back. Would go well with our new jersey.

There are younger guys in my riding group who find that really amusing. If I last long enough for them to age, I 'll laugh last.

Mayhaps you need to adjust when you are taking your pills in relation to when you are bibbing up?

Nice Pic of Mr. Gee there Tom.

That could be dangerous when DG goes out for a ride along the San Diego beaches.

Universal bicycle laws!

You will always have to go after the bibs are on.
The foot still clipped in will be on the side your falling toward.
The next downhill will not take anywhere as long as the next uphill.
Tires know when you forgot your pump.
Traffic coming from behind, traffic coming from in front and you will always meet at the same spot...............and the road will be narrow there.
