At risk of sounding like a certain fast show character:

Aren't they just BRILLIANT? I can't believe its taken me this long to get a pair, I think I held off becasue they look a bit weird, especially when you are not wearing them. But my word comfortable and practical - way better than non bibs in every way.

That is all :D

    It's difficult to get a pair to fit if you're overweight though, I found. Either they're too large around the legs if they fit the upper body, or they're too small on the body and give a massive camel toe.

    What about when you need a wazz?

    (Serious question - I'm thinking about getting some)

    This has to be candidate for one of the funniest posts ever! Now would you be kind enough to buy me a new keyboards, as that choked up cornflakes are stuck between the keys.
    Some people are like slinkies - not much use for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

    The most accurate description known to man.

    If someone can invent a better way (applies to 1-piece motorcycle leathers too) then they will be very rich.

    Worth the effort though as they act like a corset and hold in a multitude. By wearing them under my suit at work I can drop at least one suit size! :lol:

    Makes sitting at a desk all day more comfortable too...........

    some very amusing reponses to this, but on a serious response I must admit once I'd put mine on I had the saem thought, however its not a problem....

    On mine the top of the shorts bit come up to just below belly button. Lycra is very stretchy. simply stretch down the short top, get the old chap out and have a wazz. No bending, no danger of p!ssing up ones nose.

    Maybe the posters above have tiny todgers :D ?

    Really I just unwind the laughing carrot over the top - if my hands are full (of other things) then I use the shoulder strap to hold it in place - is you todger really that tiny that you don't do the same ;-)

    After a couple of years of riding in baggy shorts and some lycra shorts i bought from Lidl/Aldi. I recently bought myself some Endura Bibs, wore them for a 40 mile ride yesterday, and they were far more comfortable.

    As for the peeing issue, the cut above the waist at the front is quite low, and very stretchy. So easily stretched low enough to be able to pee stood upright and aim it where you want.

  • tbh peeing is only a issue if he becomes a turtle and is hiding, if his willing to come out he can stretch far enough down the shorts to do his stuff.......

    Shorts like these are great, but please can I make a plea to keep them in good condition and dispose of them when they get too worn?

    The reason? On a recent charity ride I ended up behind someone who was going at a good pace and I found myself enjoying the reduced wind resistance, until I suddenly realised that the seat of his shorts were so worn that I could see his arsecrack. As I lacked the intestinal fortitude to overtake him, I resolved to reduce my speed and called for the eye soap. I know drafting has its pitfalls, but I didn't realise that was one of them.
