Bib shorts and having a leak?

[oldgreyandslow]

There may be a bklindingly obvious answer but I'm intrigued to know how the hell you manage a roadisde pee with bibshorts undedr a short zipped top? I won't go into further details but top removel seems necesarry for me anyway. Obviously "normal" shorts aren't a problem but I like the extra support andcomfort of bib shoirts and this "flaw" is limiting my riding duration, I'm not really up fpr virtually disrobing to hop behind a tree for a leak

lift top up. bend knees as to squat and wee out the top of your shorts. trying not to hit yourr chin.

Strange....all of my bibshorts/tights easily pull down to todger level so taking a leak is never a problem.

You haven't got yours on back to front have you?

No but I can't seem to heave them down far enough, wil try harder!

With my sole pair of bibs I find it easiest to roll a leg up.

I undo the zip on my top, then slide the bib straps off my shoulder so they rest about halfway down my upper arms. This creates a bit more slack in the system, enabling easy shorts-pulling-down action!

I gave up bibshorts a long, long time ago.

As far as I'm concerned, they are only for racing where stopping is a non-event.
I once ( only once ) needed a pee during a race so I wet the whole lot.

A properly prepared raceboy will go to the lavvy BEFORE the race. His fluid IN will be only a small amount greater than his OUT.

Now I only wear waist shorts when riding a 200 or 300 km. Much more civilised when stopping at a lavvy.

I find some bibs easier than others but I suspect that's stating the obvious! I generally speaking perform the same contortions as those outlined by our resident bionic man.

Yup - lift the bottom of the leg up 3" and away you go. Can do it on the fly if you want to be really popular with your riding chums....
