Bib shorts are highly addictive. I can't imagine ever wearing anything else now. What I like is that you can sit, stand, move around as much as you want and the shorts stay in place.
Yabbut PEEING is really hard.
I mean, if you are a pro rider of the male persuasion and have practice you might be able to stand up on the pedals pull the shorts up up up and pull it out and take a whiz while one of your teammates holds on to your saddle to keep you moving but if you AREN'T a pro rider, don't have teammates, or happen to be a girl (like me) peeing becomes really difficult.
Which is not to say that my two pairs of bib shorts aren't among my favorites just that I really wish there was an easier way to go to the toilet that didn't involve getting completely undressed when wearing them.
A fully-faired recumbent with a "discharge tube" has its advantages. 🙂
