Bib tights? People don't really wear those, do they? I've seen 'em in catalogs but never really saw
a use for them.

saw a use for them.

There was a post on wreck.bike.tech about someone wanting to know how to pee while wearing them
without getting completely undressed. Apparently he wasn't 'long' enough to reach over the top or
down the leg. ;^)

The closest thing I have to bib tights is Dainese body armor pants and they have a zipper.

I've got a pair. I'm tall, so they rise to a mildly irritating wedgie. Probably should have tried
them on before purchasing. That's what you get for buying stuff at a swap meet. I bought a Bontrager
Race Day saddle too. Man. Bad combination. /s

Sounds bad. I haven't tried the bibs because I've never seen a reason to have anything be held up.
Perhaps my build makes it easier for pants/shorts to stay up.

Bib shorts rule. Absolutely. In almost every way but convenience.

Sans jersey might be pretty fetching on the right body (female, for starters). Kind of like those
80's one piece bathing suits with little straps to cover the nipples.

Only *real men* can wear them without suffering irreversible

taking a chance. But remember, for best results, the shirt goes on the outside, ergo, "the
bumblebee":

I remember seeing a photo in Mountain Bike Action, I think it was. This is back when Johnny
T was hawking Farmer Johns, so that dates it pretty well. There was a this shot of one of
the Reeking Crew testing the Tomac Signature Mongoose, riding with his t-shirt under his
bibs. Such a serious faux-pas, the image still haunts me. At the time ('87 or '88) I was
actually riding occasionally with those idiots, and with a group of guys from OC calling
themselves the Laguna Rads. A whole tribe of crappy riders whose motto was something along
the lines of "if you aren't breaking anything, you aren't going fast enough." It bothered
them quite a bit that here I was, a roadie in lycra, riding just as fast, but smoothly. It
finally got so that I just couldn't stand to ride with them anymore. The final straw was on
the San Juan Trail, on the switchbacks at the end. These guys were all cutting every single
goddamned switchback, and wrecking half the time. I got to the bottom first, waited just
long enough to tell them that they were doing the sport no good (not an exact quote. I was
a bit more

I've seen a few of them since then, but not often. I think that they still don't wear lycra.

I've ridden with a few of those guys at one time or another as well as their figurehead Hans Rey.
Hans is pretty cool, the others are mostly in it for the image. Not my cup of tea, wot wot.

I'm surprised they even still exist as a group. I'd figured that the majority of them would have
gotten bored with it by now and moved on to whatever next caught their attention.

I haven't seen them as a group in the past couple years. Hans has a house here in town so I see him
around every now and again. There was a special on the Rads airing on OLN every once in awhile so
they may have tried to extend their 15 minutes of fame. And before GT went belly up they were using
them in a magazine campaign.

Bunch of blow hards if you ask me.
