Because if later you buy a light-coloured jersey, sometimes black straps will show through the fabric.

I wear bib shorts for 99.99999% of my rides on the road bike and it requires a very good reason for me to not wear them for all the reasons mentioned above, which far outweigh the faff of going to the loo.

I know they aren't cheap, but I've worn these over the past week and find they are extremely comfy, easy to move in (I don't feel like I'm wearing a nappy) and have a built in relief zip. If they stay as well shaped as they are now with prolonged use, they get my vote.

get yourself into a cycle shop and try some on. I was looking at getting a pair for a really long ride, but after trying on a few at Evans, stuck to shorts.
I'm another well upholstered woman, but found when I seemed to have the right size, the straps were digging into my shoulders. As I hadn't had problems with shorts up to then, decided to stick with what works. Plus I had to carry spares with me, so smaller was definitely better.
The stripping off is inconvenient even if you have a cubicle. But if you are doing something like the Dunwich Dynamo, I'd suggest not drinking any water :-) Actually, I managed that ride without a comfort break, even in shorts. Pee shyness is a terrible curse.

How would you know?
More seriously, you don't get the waistband digging in with bib shorts. I hope to get some soon, in gaudy club colours...
