    I have a few pairs of now see through in the crack region, turbo use only bibs I'd be happy to sell on, no skids I'm afraid.

    NSFW or the gym

    Well I tend to buy my beers 2nd hand .... after most of the pint has been drunk and you end up with that inch left in the bottom of the glass that's part beer, part backwash .... mist people don't want this bit, so I buy it off them and drink it

    That's fine as long as you know that they are second hand. If they are third hand however......

    If you are really concerned about possible effects of someone's secondhand skidders. You could always wear the second hand pair on top of a pair of your own that have gone see through.
    That's if you don't mind your own skidders next to your skin.

    I have the answer... a completely removable skid pad!!! You could swap it from short to short...taking your own hard worked for skidders with you!! Come on Rapha, Castelli etc...there is a new market...detachable skid pads...instead of Cytech making most of them, there may be room for a new name.....Shitech!!! This time next year I will be a millionaire!!!

    Possibly we could start to wipe our arses better, maybe use those Antibacterial floor wipes. Then second hand wouldn't be an issue.

    i don't want to piss on your chips but if it's a problem just use one of your wife's lady pads and some double sided tape.

    For the nervous or discrete or shy, these items can be ordered from Tesco Online.

    Just buy wet wipes!

    Why do the ads for wet wipes beat around the bush (no pun intended)?

    Just get people who have used paper toilet tissue to then re wipe with a wet wipe, and if its brown, your ar5e was not clean 8)

    What else do you 'dry wipe' and expect to be clean? :roll:

    If you do not buy second hand pants/knickers, then do not buy second hand bib shorts. End of.

    If I listed a jersey as saying "I wiped my ar5e with it once, but have since washed at 30 degrees"
    Do you think it would sell?

    when you say wipe do you mean "wipe" or floss?

    Just buy wet wipes!
    Just bear in mind that wet wipes are not biodegradable and over time will block your drains if you flush them.

    Thanks for that link. A great article to share with colleagues - we are engineers working in the water sector. That's one of the best pages I have seen addressing the issue.

    Fascinating discussion.

    I personally wouldn't buy 2nd hand bib shorts, but it's really the thought of another guys naked, sweaty, scrotum rubbing against the lining - which in turn would rub up agaisnt mine - which puts me off. I wouldn't buy second hand pants either.

    But all this talk of people doing a berniethebiker has got me curious. Is skidding up your pants on bike rides an issue that only troubles the older gentleman? Is this something I've got to look forward to later in life? I hope not.

    Don't worry, when you get old you'll probably forget to put on any shorts at all.

    this is getting like schoolyard bullying, have a laugh, have a joke by all means, but aiming comments at forum members for no reason is childish!

    I find the humour as always full of banter... but we all have different banter tolerance levels.

    I suggest we move this to Bottom Bracket - then we can all act accordingly :-)

    This reminds of a time before bib shorts had been invented. One of the lads who was quite talented National squad standard. He would drop us riding up a hill and proceed to pull his shorts down and show us his a*rse just to remind us how crap we were.
    So one time we got to the top and a prearranged single we knocked him off his bike and took his shorts off him. He had to ride home with his jersey as shorts

    not directly related to bib shorts, but this thread has brought to mind an ingenious invention, that, if out touring and you need somewhere to stash your bike lock key, could be a winner...
