This should probably be in pink, but could someone explain why triathletes who cross over to road racing won't buy a pair of bibs. Guys, girls - no one wants to see your midriff. We really do try to put up with you one-speed wonders, but cut us a little slack!

I wear bibs, but I'm not crossing over to road racing.
Any idea why roadies who cross over to triathlon won't wear a speedo?

Back when I was in school, those of us who already knew the wonders of bibs used to torment those who did not wear them. We'd ride up behind the non-bib wearing individual, grab the waist of the shorts, yank 'em down and hook them under the saddle. Then you sprint away with everyone else....the guy couldn't sand to go after you 'cuz he was hooked to the saddle and we'd drop him like a bad habit.
Wasn't long before everyone on our team was wearing bibs.....
;-)

that's hilarious!
With my luck, I'd try it on someone, and we'd both go down in a pile of wreckage and road rash... and then I'd have to explain that I was trying to pull down his bike shorts. Nope- I don't wanna' attempt this.... but it would be funny.
