I would think you could get bibs off the same way women get bras off without
taking off their shirts. It would be easier than emptying the pockets on
the jerseys...

It's what I do...Just pull the arms into the jersey and bring the bibstraps
down over your shoulders. Jersey stays on. Might not work if the jersey is
super tight, though.

Now you just need the "stripper theme" on your .mp3 player. <eg>

Not sure if I'm enough of a contortionist to do that, nor have I had the
practice that women have probably had (out of necessity, rather than
convenience). But it really isn't that big a deal (for a guy); how long does
it take to empty out a few jersey pockets? The main problem in public is...
helmet hair. Mine borders on legendary.

Mine too. I don't take my helmet off in public. I don't like unloading my
pockets in public places though. It might be a personal matter, if I feel I
might leave stuff behind if in a hurry.

That's the problem for those with severe helmet hair... otherwise, we could
just dump the contents of our pockets into the helmet.

Erm... Just put the lid back on before you step out of the booth?

If the jersey's not too tight, I can usually lift it off without upending
the pockets, and put it back on the same way.

I give mine a #3 clip, and people have asked me where I got the
streaky thing done :-)

Longer, curly hair squashed under a helmet can look terrible.

Why wear the helmet then?

I've found that full zip jerseys make for easier accessibility when wearing bibs.

I wonder in the ~5 years since the last post if they figured that out :P

I know this is old news to most here, but for any newbies out there....

Bibs are the bomb! I can't imagine why I cycled around for nearly 3 years
without ever trying on a pair of bibs. Now, I'll never revert back to
regular cycling shorts. The comfort of bibs is amazing.

Bibs are great, i love them too.
But one major disadvantage is if you get a urge for nature's call and have
to take a dump out someplace like on an organized ride.
You pretty much have to almost strip all the way down to do it inside a
porta-pottie.
Shorts are then much more advantageous.

nothing is worse than a skinsuit for that situation..........

Yeah they look pretty cool. Would be great for jogging too. Nothing is going to be moving or sliding off with these. It has been happening because the leaner you get clothes just don't fit right. I'm going to have to try these bibs out.
