This may have been mentioned, but here it is again. I wore a set of bibs this weekend for a long ride. Here's the downside. If you need to "sit" to use the toilet, you need to take off your shirt. If you don't have a complete zipper on your shirt so you can take it off like a jacket, you need to pull a sticky, sweaty shirt off over your head. Then all the **** in your shirt pocket falls out onto the bathroom floor. Your spare tube, tools, phone, C02, patches, power bars, all trickle out of the pocket, crash onto the floor and roll under the toilet... Don't ask how I know this.
The power bars that hit the floor in the bathroom... I, uh, er, tossed in the trash. Actually, I kicked them toward the trash, and then with about a 4" thick wad of toilet paper, I picked them up and disposed of them... That foil wrapper on a powerbar is thick, but ain't thick enough for that kind of action
I wouldn't have eaten those even if they were encased in kryptonite and then a foot of solid steel. That floor was nasty... and my phone was wet when I picked it up... <shudder>
No more bibs on a long ride. <shudder> ...still thinking about my phone...

... The innertube was wet too... <insert more shuddering>
....You'd be surprised at what (temporarily) goes through your mind while your sitting on a convenience store toilet and looking at the last of your food that is now sitting on the floor, in a puddle, at your feet...
