Forget the Road Shorts – BIBS!!!
You Are Now One of Us
Ask your local bike shop about bibs and a standard response is “We all wear them, but no one will buy them”. Bibs are better than standard shorts for road rides. Bibs are simply a short with the suspenders built right in. There are few advantages we would like to point out to you:
1. Bibs stay up without being tight. Regular shorts have to be restrictive to stay up. They are tight through the waist to keep everything from moving down. This is not good to allow blood move freely up and down to keep those pistons going!
2. Bibs don’t bunch up. Same idea as number one, but a little different. Bib shorts do not bunch up as you are leaned over your handlebars. This is just so much more comfortable.
3. Typically, bib shorts are better for the money. Because serious cyclists look for bibs, the technology ends up there first. You will by riding the best, most comfortable short of your life.
