FWIW, I've never worn bib shorts and don't have a problem with the waistband of my shorts being uncomfortable.

Well...it's probably more of an issue for those of us that carry a bit more "fluff" around the middle.

My favorite bike shorts came with a drawstring. I took it out. Couldn't see the point. Originally Posted by nscrbug

persornally although I have a bit of fluff around the middle (old age sag) I prefer drawstrings in my shorts. They aren't very common anymore and it's been an adjustment to go without them, They gave me a sense of security.
