    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. 🙂

    Where I work we call them "foley catheters." :-)
