It's less messy if you dribble?

They don't pinch at the waist.

However, if you need a 'comfort stop' they can be harder to, erm, remove!

Why wasn't this question raised on the other thread? It's getting harder and harder to manage reading this place!

Anyway, when you've tried bibs you'll understand why.

They're far more comfortable for those of us whose waists are less well defined than they used to be:blush:

They're just better!

-Don't move around as much.
-Good ones don't rub at all.
-They hold fat in!

They don't look any different to normal shorts, because the shoulder straps are under your jersey. Unless you wear them over the top, like i've seen some nutters do...
