Our Mission
Our mission is to provide cyclists with comfortable cycling clothing to create a foundation of consistent rides, leading to achievement of health goals.
When you invest in comfort, you'll ride more frequently and for longer distances. The natural result? Achieving your health goals becomes easier and more enjoyable. It all starts with the right foundation.
My Cycling Journey
Like most cyclists, I started with regular shorts and suffered through painful rides. When I tried padded liners, skin irritation from shifting fabric made things worse. Finally discovering cycling bibs was a revelation - the comfort was unmatched!
But there was a problem. I still felt self-conscious in skin-tight spandex. I searched everywhere for comfortable bibs that looked normal but found nothing. That's when I realized: thousands of recreational cyclists face the same dilemma - choose comfort or choose dignity.
The Birth of Civilized Bibs
Civilized Bibs was born from a simple idea: What if cyclists didn't have to choose between comfort and looking good? We've invented the world's first cycling bib that combines professional-grade padding and support with the functionality and appearance of regular shorts.
