Cycling Bibshorts

by LOVE2PEDAL Online Cycling Apparel

Why do almost all professional cyclists wear bibshorts and why should you consider it too?

For me, it is pretty simple--they are more comfortable.

For those of you who aren't familiar with bibs, they are basically lycra cycling shorts with an upper sewn on to them that acts like suspenders and holds the shorts up.

So why are they more comfortable? The main reason is that bibshorts eliminate the elastic waistband in regular cycling shorts. So with bibshorts there is no constriction at the waist and for long rides this can make a big difference in comfort.

We have sold 1000+ bibshorts and based on the feedback, most cyclists who try them never go back to regular bike shorts. We have many repeat customers for our bibshorts.

Besides the added comfort they offer, there are a couple of other advantages to bibs. The first is that for those of us who are a few pounds overweight, they do a pretty good job of holding in our gut and lovehandles a little bit! The other thing is that the shorts portion of bibs stays in position better.

Are there any downsides to bibs? They do cost a little more than cycling shorts because of the added fabric and construction (but not much more) and the other thing is that it is a little harder to take a leak wearing bibs (but no big deal).

How much do you need to spend to get a good pair? Well, Pearl Izumi, Sugoi, Castelli and others sell nice bibshorts from $80 to $200. I offer a few models that are between $30 and $40 a pair that a super comfortable, have nice Coolmax pads and are very durable. We buy large quantities directly from the manufacturer and don't have a marketing department or buy expensive ads in bicycle magazines or pay pro athletes to wear our products, so we are able to offer the best quality for the best price.

We are very confident our customers will like our bibs and back it up with a 30-day "Test Ride" guarantee, along with a one-year warranty.
