Cycling Bib Shorts
Cycling shorts are critical to anyone who spends much time on a
bike. A good pair of Best Cycling Bibs will
prevent saddle sores, reduce chafing, and make the overall cycling experience
much more comfortable. Right quality cycling gear will help you be
more responsive and safer on the bike reducing the distractions caused by
discomfort and allowing you to focus on the road or trail ahead of you. A
good pair of cycling shorts allows the rider to be comfortable after even 100
miles – or as comfortable as one can be after 100 miles.
As a starting point, here are some of our favorite Best Cycling Shorts
based on past experience. We do not
include bib-style shorts which are used by some hardcore cyclist but generally not
used by average weekend. Our goal here is to provide several good regardless of
your price range and intended use.

When you spend four days in the saddle and over 500 miles are rolling
under your wheel on the way from North Carolina to Washington DC, you have a
lot of time to think. I love riding, and I’ve done my fair share of it
over many years. And this particular ride was fantastic, but the saddle
time sucked. It didn’t suck because of the distance. It sucked
because of the chamois time. Over ten hours in my bib shorts on some
days, and frankly, it hurt. Being in the cycling gear industry, I had the
Best cycling Bib Shorts
at my disposal to use for this
ride. But what I noticed was that even with the “best” bibs on the
market, as the hours passed, the shorts relaxed and loosened. And you
know what happens next. Yep, the chamois started moving around down
there. Which started chaffing. Oh, and it was hot, too from the
start, which meant the chamois stayed moist from the first hour on. A
wayward and wet chamois do not the best riding conditions make. I think
Shakespeare said that.
