I saw a guy today wearing bib shorts but no jersey, it was pretty horrid. He looked like a miner after a days work.

Nothing wrong with bibshorts with an appropriate waistcoat!!

Bib longs without a jersey could look disturbingly like this

It was a day like any other in Ireland, only it wasn't raining

Under the jersey. I don't care how difficult it is to take a pee, anything else is just wrong.

Following on from Domestiques thread re sartorial elegance (leg/knee warmers - over or under your shorts), I am tonight going to commute home wearing my bibshorts over my cycling jersey.

Any yACFers care to enlighten me on how long before somebody (probably another cyclist) knocks me off for this crime against humanity.....


I've just seen this thread and not read the full thing but ......

If (?) it was OK for John Major to tuck his shirt in his underpants then it's equally OK for you to tuck your jersey in your shorts.

However, that is a very big IF.

I saw someone desporting himself in Salisbury Tesco the other week in salt-stained bibshorts over a helly-hansen.

He did the decent thing and packed.

Didn't the checkout staff offer to pack for him?

He wants to ride his bicycle.
I say black, he says white.

OK. So the general opinion is under.  Next question.  Which side of the nipples should the straps go?

Bibs over the shorts have one place: When you're wearing a jacket over the whole lot.  Then nobody can tell how grim you look, and you can still pee.   :thumbsup:
It takes blood and guts to be this cool but I'm still just a cliché.

Neither - the straps should go over the nipples.  That way you get a little frisson as you move...  :P

I tried one of those on, most uncomfortable around the neck, felt like I was wearing bondage not bib longs, not that I would know what it felt like to wear bondage of course :)

I don't think bondage is supposed to be that comfortable, thought maybe one needs to ask Charlotte. It has it's distractions or so I am led to believe.

I'm not a big fan of bib shorts for the same reason. Similarly I wouldn't know about bondage either!
