Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I'm thinking of getting these at $90 Cdn. Are they any good? Alternitaves? (MEC is Mountain Equipment Co-op)

These are the worst bib I ever bought. The chamois should be called "bite" instead of "kiss". Chamois pattern is awful I cannot ride more than 1 hour without lot of pain in the crotch region. The chamois does not cover much of the frontal area too. It is only 0.5 mm of lycra between the outside world and your genitals

I bought Sugoi bib for 110 $CDN at LBS. I'm very satisfied.
