Help me STW your my only hope
I just cant work it out, if I'm wearing bib shorts and a thermal base layer do I put the base layer under the bibs straps or over? I have to ride to work in the morning and don't know what to do, my only pair of shorts are in the wash! 😀😀
under for me or the bibs chaffe my nips...TMI?
Straps over base.
Straps loose on your bum like dungarees.
Bib upper over baselayer, Leia.
Base layer next to skin, bibs over the top.
Underneath in case you're caught short!

This is the correct answer.
Also the reason why it's preferable to have a full length zip on your cycling jersey
BASElayer.
Well that's cleared that up!!! 🤪🙄 FFS STW you are supposed to know everything. I have to cycle to work in 11 hours
Can you settle an argument I’m having with myself
I knew you could have an arguement in an empty room!
If it's warm, bib shorts then top.
If it's cold, top, bib shorts, top, bib longs, top, windproof
Depends if you're wearing anything over the baselayer.
If you're wearing a jersey or a jacket, base under bibs. If your baselayer is your only top layer, wear it over the bibs...
One of each. That way you only need to take one side off if you need a wee.
If you need to put your HRM on after getting dressed, bib first. If you need a poo after getting dressed and don't want to get nekkid, base layer first.
I’ve gone back to non bibs so I can take a leak easier. Life’s alot easier on all dayers. Not so hot in summer either and don’t interfere with layering. And cheaper. Not the current (roadie) fashion but they have some practicalities.
I managed to get to work and was already to have an emergency poo if necessary.

@TJagain, my Ironometer has just disintegrated 😉
Baselayer goes close to skin, bibs go in bin unless you're a toddler and shorts on legs
Sorted
Compression top helps t even out the flab and preven an oddly high front muffin top created by the bibs.

I knew there were lots of old men on here. He's only riding to work - I ride 45 minutes each way and can cope without a pea (for a while longer as well) Am I a lucky 52yr old? Will it be long before I start to work out where on my route I can peel off layers to evacuate? (Better not use the main roads, perhaps?)
