    Thumbs up De Marchi Bib Shorts

    I bought mine from Nashbar, and I love them! I always wear sleeveless jersey's, so I just do the bra strap trick and pull the straps out the arm holes. It drives my husband crazy that I can have the straps off me and be ready to hop off the bike and into the bathroom as soon we pull up.

    A bicycle does get you there and more.... And there is always the thin edge of danger to keep you alert and comfortably apprehensive. Dogs become dogs again and snap at your raincoat; potholes become personal. And getting there is all the fun. ~Bill Emerson, "On Bicycling," Saturday Evening Post, 29 July 1967

    I've never been good at the arm hole/strap thing--and you can do it on a bike?! I bow to the master :-)

    I'm fairly new to biking and loving it (and anxiously awaiting the 15th, the pick-up day for my very first road bike!)!

    I am overweight - losing - but still have a significant amount to lose. I'm still in plus size clothing and while I don't want to spend a ton of money I still need something to ride in.

    I have two pair of regular bike shorts - one is much more comfy than the other. However, I still wear some other shorts over them.

    I ordered a pair of short from TE. I just received them! They are apparently MTB shorts - the kind with the baggy shorts with the lycra padded thing built in.

    ALL that being said: Will they provide significant comfort while on long road rides?

    Thanks for any insight!

    I love my De Marchi bib shorts, they are super comfy. Other shorts in my line-up that I also like to wear are these super short pair of Adidas ones.
