Tights over bib shorts?

[iateyoubutler]

I`m wearing bib tights at the moment with shorts over them, only because the bib tights are knackered and have holes in them!!

I do it the other way round - worn-out bibshorts are kept for under-bibtights (and turbo trainer) duties.

Ha, same way of thinking, six of one, half a dozen the other, LOL!

Bib shorts with Ron Hill Tracksters over the top. Cheap as chips.

^This works really well for me,and keeps my marriage kit concealed!

The thin ones are ragged round the buttocks, but it doesn't affect their function

Remind me not to cycle behind you....

Nora Batty and Max Wall mentioned in the thread - young folk, you will have to google how many medals they won

I do the same although some of the shorts are getting past that now.

I'm becoming much less tolerant to the cold as I get older and am losing my insulating blubber! (Not that my cold-sensitive knees, hands and feet were ever that fat ... ) I don't like bare arms below about 13° C or bare legs below 10°, and I prefer temperatures in the range 15-25°.

The only downside I can think of is it might be a bit of performance if you get caught short.

I saw a young man walking round the local shops in shorts and a t-shirt during the recent cold snap when the air temperature was -1 but with the bitter east wind chill it felt more like -8 to -10. His arms and legs were incredibly red so his body was clearly working overtime to keep him from freezing solid, but I don't understand why people put themselves through that. I know that some folk feel the cold less than others, but that was ridiculous!

The coolest and most stylish look is tights under baggy shorts. Preferably black tights and light coloured shorts.
