How to Ride Longer Without Saddle Pain
Most people have never actually been comfortable on their bike. At Civilized Bibs, we're here to forever change your experience on your bicycle so that you can ride longer without pain.
You're Not "Doing it Wrong"
You're not doing it wrong if you're currently experiencing pain on your bicycle. You just don't have the proper attire yet to help you.
Reasons You're Hurting
- You Don't Actually Have Cycling Gear: Most "shorts" people have for their bicycle isn't geared towards cycling. They're not designed to reduce skin irritation, wick away sweat, or provide comfort to your sit bones.
- No Proper Padding: True comfort on a bicycle is achieved with proper padding for your sit bones while on a bicycle saddle
Bibs Are Your Answer
- Apparel that moves with your body: Cycling bibs are designed to move with your body as your ride, greatly reducing skin irritation and chafing.
- Shoulder Straps: Instead of waistbands that dig into your skin like regular shorts, bib shorts hang on your shoulders (think of them like overalls).
- Sit Bones Secured: Foam (or gel) padding protects your sit bones from hurting while maintaining adequate blood flow throughout your body.
Final Thoughts
Transform your bicycle rides with actual cycling bib shorts! But chances are you don't want to wear skin-tight spandex out in public...
And that's where Civilized Bibs comes in! Enjoy all the benefits of proper cycling bibs in a more modest package.
