Surely this would be more comfortable than just sweat pants and considering it is actual underwear meant to be worn under another layer I wouldn't have to be self conscious about my flab.. thoughts/comments?

You can just wear bike shorts under sweats if you choose to not wear spandex in public. I have a couple of buddies that do that as well.

I ride with a buddy who's partially moons me while riding with his shorts. I've been trying to get him to convert to bibs.

I'm skeptical of this claim. If you are crashing that much than aren't you worried that you'll eventually injure yourself bad enough that you can no longer ride a bike?
