My balls are cold...
Ok so here in So-Cal when we're not having black tar heroine orgys and contracting the clap from the Olson twins we ride bicycles. In winter it sometimes gets chilly, so I decided to get some insulated bib-tights for my 5-6 AM week day rides where it dips to 32...or at least did for awhile.
Anyway these bibs haven't fit me right since I got them, too short in the shoulders and my wang falls asleep. Ok so bad move on my part I'm selling them, oh well. It's warmed up a bit here now it's in the mid 40's in the AM when I go out. I've decided to just go out in my regular shorts with leg warmers but I figure I'm going to get pretty chilly in the 'goods & prizes' section of my body...do any of you guys have a cheap way of keeping warm in regular bib shorts above the leg warmers and below the winter jacket?
I know Capoforma has some sweet roubaix lined bib shorts but I don't really want to throw more money into shorts and they're hard as hell to find, esp in so-cal.
Any advice is needed.

I was wondering if they made like thin liner shorts or something, I mean next year I'll probably buy some bib-shorts with roubaix lining because i think thats more versatile than bib tights but money is tight and I'd rather not spend a $139 at the end of winter.

Haven't tried it myself, but if you have a a thin head cover you could try it. Something like this.

Curious - how long have you lived in So-Cal and where are you originally from?

1) buy bandana
2) fold in triangle shape
3) stuff in shorts (tip of triangle facing down)
4) enjoy the warmth (but watch out for crinkles/edges that can agitate your skin)
that's patent-pending btw.

I ride with just regular bibs and leg warmers all winter long. I don't have any problems with the jewels getting cold. Why don't you try and see if it's really an issue for you?
If it is, you can always go with unpadded tights worn over the bibs. That'll give you an extra layer.

You have the same sense of humor as my dad, and he's 73 years old.
