Yes, bathroom stops can be an ordeal, but it's really not THAT difficult.

I will keep my out for bibs then. I don't usually ride long enough for a bathroom break, so I think I'll be fine for now! If anyone has some bibs (or shorts) that they wouldn't mind parting with, please let me know Happy riding!
