Or are tall and skinny and most jerseys that Fit your upper half are a little to short for normal shorts

I want casual bibs for this reason alone.

[cheese]

isn’t that lederhosen?

@Bootus

Bibs are great if you have a fat belly that causes regular shorts to roll down

Or are tall and skinny and most jerseys that Fit your upper half are a little to short for normal shorts

Seems like cutoff jerseys are all the rage in Europe

I have lederhosen! To north American eyes i think they seem surprisingly leathery with a pretty high fetish vibe overall. the designer incorporated pee and poo flaps which i think improves them a tad over cycling bibs.

Cycling is such a majestic sport

[turpentine]

bibs is the good life. I have no problem taking my jersey off and throwing it on the dirt and pooping in a storm runoff drain like a fucking animal.

[todd_bonzalez]

I feel like we’ve mostly all been there

@turpentine

pooping in a storm runoff drain

Please don’t. I’m 99% sure that all of Cincinnati’s storm drains lead directly to the Ohio River without treatment.

At least poop in a garbage can or a bioswale.

My water comes from mill creek so it’s somebody else’s problem.

@Andrew_Squirrel

so much nicer to not have to completely disrobe to poop and pee over a day long ride.

1. already covered by @Master_Stabby, just whip it out
2. Our sparkly-eyed friend Hahn discovered that in some Rapha bibs he could poop without disrobing at all, through the gap between the straps in the back. The trick to pulling them down with the straps up is to do it in the same motion as sitting/squatting.

One of the more macabre points of racial capitalism - a lot of farm workers here in SoCal aren’t provided an actual restroom facility, so there’s often a line of portapotties at one of the entrances along otherwise service-barren country roads. Made use of the facilities once on a 300k and it was a blessing.

[oogens]

the shitty part is that the porta potties only came up after people kept getting e.coli from their lettuce

not because, like, the workers deserved a place to poop or anything

[Andrew_Andeson]

My bathroom is cold. I have learned to pull my arms inside my jersey to get the bib straps off my shoulders. Works good.

And I just undo my belt and pull down my pants. To each their own, I guess.

A vision I will work my whole life to purge from my mind

Oh, came here to reprise this (R.I.P. QB):

Dispatch from Packwood, fleeing the evil blue shirts

[stumphumper]

guys LeMond rode with diarrhea in his bibs just htfu

[Andrew_Squirrel]

Why not stirrups for the bottom of the bib that relieve the uncomfortable pressure & stickyness (ow, my leg hair) of the leg gripper?

[karl_dandleton]

most of the good bibs i’ve owned dont have one discrete leg gripper, but a slightly tacky section of dots or similar. if there’s one thicc leg gripper band, fuck that bib
