Question for Friday #BikeNite

Yesterday morning I decided to just put my winter bib tights (Red White Apparel) on first thing in the morning, knowing I was going for a ride later. I reasoned that I would then be all ready to go without thinking what a hassle it would be to get changed later. And that it would result in a more comfortable ride, which it did. I have to admit that deciding to wear them under my jeans for the morning was not the best decision I could have made, but it was undoubtedly better choice for the ride once I took the jeans off.

What about you lot? Do you wear your chamois padded shorts or bibs as a matter of course or do you make that decision based on the length of ride you're planning?

For us, I think a ride of over an hour is more comfortable with a chamois, where less time doesn't necessarily need it. That's around the 20 km mark.

We decided that bibs were the way to go for us, but there's no question that they are more of an inconvenience to put on and take off. Are there any who wear padded shorts or tights and have found them to be just as comfortable as bibs?

Steven feels that having a pair with chamois that are just like underwear would be the ideal solution, requiring basically no changing, just wearing them under jeans. Are there any who do that? And if so, are there brands that you prefer?
