Bibs and Toilet stops
Hi
So if you are wearing bibs and you have to stop do you have to take off your jersey to unhitch the bibs? Seems like a bit of a process.
I'm sure this has been dealt with before, but I searched and couldn't find anything.

Pull down if you are male and doing no. 1.
Partially undress if you are female or doing no. 2 or both.

Sounds impossible without sh1tting yourself or stretching out your bibs.

Slip your arms out of your jersey, but not over your head (just over your shoulders).
You don't even have to take your helmet off.
Full zip jersey is even less of a bother.
Costs a few seconds of time. Worth every bit of it for the superior comfort of bibs.
I don't see a problem.

There are many civilized endeavors that I might dispense with, and God created trees because boys have to go somewhere. But peeing on myself while riding ain't never gonna happen.
As for bibs, yes they are a bit more work if a deuce is the call of the day. Personally, I hate using port o johns at races or charity rides, so I try to get up early enough that all my business is taken care of at home.

Nobody in that picture seems to have rolled up a leg. I have tried and by the time things are high enough I have a pretty effective tourniquet. I need to go over the top, and usually slip one arm out the sleeve and through the strap to make things easier.

No need to stop for #2 if you have one of them fancy new saddles with the hole in it.
