    I circumvent this issue by not being a peasant, and simply buying new bib shorts when I need them.

    Elitest!!!

    I bet you replace, not patch too don't you? :evil:
    And use Co2 :twisted:

    Next time I see someone patching a tube and/or pumping it up with a hand pump.......
    .....I am going to presume they are in 2nd hand skid shorts :lol:

    Another thing.
    How do you even know they are second hand?
    They could be 3rd, or even 4th hand :shock:

    I'm fine with it. And picking chewing gum off the underside of pub tables because it's cheaper than buying it new. Found a used condom in the park the other day and......

    You mean you leave your thunders on while trying them on, how strange. I bet you don't even try the knickers on when buying them for the missus.

    You could try selling skiddy bibs on FleaBay to the sleaze market.

    A brief search tells you all you need to know.
    Chuck in some free toenail clippings and I reckon the deal's golden.

    How much are these used bib shorts costing anyway?
    Could you just have got them for a similar price in a sale?
    I recently sold a Rapha Classic jersey that was 7 years old and without the arm warmers for £50. At a time when the Rapha sale was on and new ones were going for £55. Never underestimate the stupidity of the public.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    As long as you wash them before you wear them I don't see an issue. Bought plenty of skinsuits, and shorts before and im still alive.

    What you going to do sitting on a train or a bus? Wash the seat before?

    You do realise it's illegal to sit naked on a train or a bus? :shock:

    Yeah, generally people don't sit butt naked on bus seats sweating over them for 4hours at a time only for someone else to sit there afterwards butt naked and rubbing there wedding tackle over the same seat

    Anyone who rode for a regional or national team years ago woul have been issued well used shorts (That had to be returned.) same with team ski suits. I never heard of anyone getting anything nasty.
    Chamois cream often has an antiseptic recipe anyway.
    Compared with the stuff we ingested off the road in wet Belgian kermis ( Belgian toothpaste) shorts are a very low risk :-)

    Listen, if you insist on buying used bibs try the sniff and lick test.

    If they don't smell of s**t then you're probably okay to wear them. Just to add that little bit of extra confidence, give the pad a lick. If it doesn't taste of poo then pop then on and off you go. On the other hand.............

    So for the benefit of those uninitiated and wishing to remain so - what exactly does poo taste of? Closest match will do. I'm guessing tuna...

    Which might account for the skid marks on the shorts.

    Hmmm,5 pages. In the old days, this thread would have been far more disgusting after five pages. You lot are a disgrace. You probably all wear second hand bib shorts......

    yup, my favorites are :-

    Bitter London bibshort licker - 4.2%
    sweaty Deliveroo crack pride - 5%
    Rapha crotch porter - 4.3%

    Quite similar tasting though

    Time for the TMI post.

    I had two reasons for starting this thread. One is as in the first post - the Yeuch factor! The whole idea is just Yeuch and none of the challenges on here have changed my mind.

    Plus I had several "incidents" over the years which have made me think "Could I sell these shorts to someone else?" and "If I've done this with these shorts the chances are others have too. Would I wear their shorts?"

    Yeuch indeed!

    There you go a list of quite exceptional beers, maybe your tastebuds are on the blink if you cant tell the difference between the brews. Must be all of the tripe and onions.

    All I can offer in return is John Smith's, tetley and boddingtons? Glad to see the north is still the brewing powerhouse of the UK.

    That said I was in Skipton last week and had some fantastic beers, amazing to see Twickenham Grandstand, sambrooks wandle and beavertown neck oil (in a can but very good).
