I seem to be the odd one out, but I don't find bibs to make that much of a difference. On long rides I pick bibs because it reduces the chances of a stomach cramp after eating+drinking on-bike a little, but to be honest I find the bathroom issue to be a big hassle. Maybe it's my love of coffee, and yes I was bad at doing those squeezy exercises after giving birth, but when I have to pee, I have to pee FAST. And then I really hate struggling with the shoulder straps, especially because the climate here usually means I'm wearing at least one snug sweaty long-sleeved layer on top.
Most of my regular shorts are quite comfy, the bibs are slightly better, but not an enormous difference to my mind.
Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin
