Distance Bib Shorts+ 2.0 (RRP £199.99)
The Distance Bib Shorts+ 2.0 are an evolution of the popular Long Distance Bib Shorts+, and are specifically built for longer distances.
The dense knit construction offers second-skin softness, plus flawless moisture wicking, fast-drying, and stretch for optimal comfort. The bib straps have been specifically engineered to reduce seat pad movement while riding and won't dig into your shoulders, while there are male and female-specific seat pads on the men's and women's versions respectively for optimal anatomical comfort.
Reduced seams and improved silicone hem grippers add up to less friction and more comfort, all in a simple and minimal package. There's very little not to like while you munch through those miles!

This jersey is also made with recycled materials and has reflective details too; a top quality, understated winner all round!

Agreed. A minor convenience to some (but not much use if I was on the recumbent)....
Heal fast Miller!
And a handy way for arseholes to excuse their shitty behaviour....
It was only a cyclist, I don't know what all the fuss is about....
Wonder if they could adapt it slightly to tell you when you should breathe?
Amzing just how wrong one person can be. Congrats though - you've aced it.
This is a full-on professional-level race bike that can be ridden by the masses. It's over eight and a half grand for godness' sakes! And where...
It has to be an organised group. My mate had his Canyon gravel bike with every single upgrade going on it. So many go each year, but the sleepy...
I think I'm just going to go down half a size which should fix it.
