It's really hard to justify spending twice what "really good" bib shorts cost in order to get what will undoubtedly convert me for life. And that's for one pair, forget having a back-up. Maybe I could get some kind of charity-type sponsorship going for people who work on the front lines of public mental health -- something like, "Keep my bum comfy, I'll keep your neighbor from driving his car off a cliff." :-) Hmm...

As to bibs, I like 'em -- but don't love 'em. My mileage my vary by dint of being a guy, but I have a long waist and find that the straps exert a constant, slightly uncomfortable pull on the shorts, and also slightly (and constantly) constrict my ribs. I do wear them for lengthy rides, and appreciate the benefits you've named above. But it's with mixed feelings. Maybe I just need to splurge on some Assos...

You make me want to write an Ode to le Bib. Or would it be La Bib? Hmmm... Either way, I feel poetic today. Get the coffeepot goin, there's some poetic clay to be throwin'! Thanks for the inspiration, Austin. Right on! You make me want to write an Ode to le Bib. Or would it be La Bib? Hmmm… Either way, I feel poetic today.
