Silver- I won't get rid of my regular shorts but now I buy bibs if buying for myself. I am a convert of sorts but my mom just buys me shorts and that is alright.

that may be the plan. I just got two new pairs of shorts on sale from TE. so I may not need any for a bit.

I LOVE bibs on the road (not so much on the dirt or the trainer). I don't think you could convince me to go back to anything with a waistband on the road bike again!
The first thing I noticed immediately was that I could wear a size smaller because there was no longer a poorly placed waistband (I'm short, so they almost always land too high) squeezing my organs!!
My two pairs of bib shorts are both local store team prints and are mens XS, and my tights are Gore windstopper womens S. I wish I'd seen that Chainlove special - that's less than I've paid for any of them!

I have both.
I find bibs are great for racing in, and great in winter (warm back)
But I tend to avoid bibs on hot days...
I still want Assos bibs...
