    Bibs vs. Non-Bibs

    Dont worry they roll down on me too. I have the same problem as lots of women in terms of jeans. If they fit my thighs, they're loose around the hips/waist.

    The State of the Southern Illinois Cycling Scene

    I watched that video as well. I don't think the interest in riding is down, the boys over at @Bike Surgeon SOIL are never bored. More people riding = more people breaking things = more repairs. I think people are more risk adverse and tbf, most of the cyclist in the area are not high...
